| -2- Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/FJH.{Fred J. Hardy - Chief Dev. Engineer}21/KW.4.12.34. Concerning the clips for attaching the number plate to the Stabiliser springs. These clips are shown grooved where they embrace the Stabiliser in order to prevent the rubber from working out endwise. If the rubber is made from one strip, with the joint at the top, the lower clip need not be grooved. The upper clip is intended to be a die casting in aluminium bronze and so the groove should not cause trouble here. Yours faithfully, FOR ROLLS-ROYCE LIMITED. | ||
