| Messrs.Rolls-Royce,Ltd., Date 15.12.28. Page 3 alter it accordingly, and let you have revised copies. We think it would be a distinct advantage if you could arrange that future units were fitted nearer the baffle; all other dimensions remaining the same. It should be noted that the Scrap View shows the fact that the cups have been off-set on the unit towards the baffle. Therefore the fixing itself cannot be placed so that the unit comes tight up against the baffle, as otherwise a foul might occur at the bottom of the unit, due to small manufacturing variations. We remain, dear Sirs, Yours faithfully, H.M.HOBSON,Ltd., [Signature] G.P.Searight. Joint Managing Director. | ||
