| 7456 Experimental Dept. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}21/KT. December 7th 1933. Messrs Lake & Elliott Ltd., Braintree, Essex. Dear Sirs, When your representative called at our works we discussed the question of rivets scoring the brake drums, and at the time I remember him saying that some materials were very much better in this respect than others. We should be glad to know what you consider to be the best rivet from the point of view of scoring. Yours faithfully, FOR ROLLS-ROYCE LIMITED. | ||
