Head Offices, Works and Design Dept.: DALLOW ROAD, LUTON. 8th. February, 1935. Messrs. Rolls-Royce Ltd., DERBY. HS{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/FJH{Fred J. Hardy - Chief Dev. Engineer} Dear Sirs, For the attention of Mr. Hardy. With regard to the visit which your Mr. Hardy paid us this morning, during which he asked us as to whether we had any further Cams and Rollers of the special type which we have supplied to your order 75967, we have to inform you that we have 3 further Cams, but that we have no Rollers. Further, in regard to one of the three Cams, we find the centre bore is slightly easy to the No Go gauge, which we do not think will be found to be detrimental, but we think it as well to advise you of this. May we take this opportunity of hoping that the information which we were able to pass over to Mr. Hardy was of use to you, and that the gear ratio which we changed this morning will be found to be satisfactory. Assuring you of our best attention at all times, We are, Yours faithfully, for ADAMANT ENGINEERING COMPANY LIMITED. [Signature] Director. | ||
