| Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/NRC.{N. R. Chandler}10/MH.{M. Huckerby} 13th. September 1937. Messrs. Borg & Beck Ltd., Tachbrook Road, Leamington Spa. Your ref. TS/AMS/LP.{Mr Lappin} Dear Sirs, We thank you for your letter of 10th. inst., and would be glad to see some bursting tests carried out, especially on a plate on which the Thermoid is cracked to an extent which might render it 'doubtful' for passing, and we understand that you have a number of such facings. We will also be glad to discuss with you any points you may raise in connection with the drawings. Unless we hear to the contrary, the writer will be pleased to call at your works about 11 a.m. on Thursday next, 16th. Yours faithfully, for ROLLS - ROYCE LTD. | ||
