January, 1937. W. A.{Mr Adams} Robotham Esq., Messrs. Rolls-Royce Ltd., DERBY. MARTINDALE Dear Mr. Robotham, I have sent you under separate cover, the sample wedge brake set-up which you left behind. We have some wedge angles which we think are an improvement on this model because they give a greater range in leverage obtained and positively prevent the possibility of rollers getting out of position under all circumstances. Yours sincerely, M C Wilks Camshafts Tappets | ||
