| 1305 EXPERIMENTAL DEPARTMENT. Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/HFP.5/JH. 24th. August, 1939. Ellison Insulations Ltd., Perry Barr, BIRMINGHAM.20. Tufnol Spring Interleaving. Dear Sirs, We are writing to confirm Mr. Kennington's telephone conversation in which you were asked to supply a sheet of graphite impregnated Tufnol. Unfortunately we have not yet decided the width of the spring we shall use for testing it, so that we can not at the moment inform you how we should like it cut. However we will let you know these details as soon as possible and in the meantime we are sending you an official order. Yours faithfully, FOR ROLLS-ROYCE LTD. | ||
