Dear Sirs, Further to our discussion at your Works yesterday, we should like you to make us one pair of clutch facings to G.84809, but using a dished mould of the type agreed upon; that is, moulding the non-working face conical so that the inner thickness is .010" more than the outer, and then grinding flat. We are sending you an official order for these, and also for a pair in S.6585 and in graphited VM.20. Yours faithfully, FOR ROLLS-ROYCE LIMITED. | ||
