Strong} MARY'S CHURCH, BEVERLEY E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} YORKS GORDON ARMSTRONG A.M.I.A.E., F.Inst. PAT. N. O.{Mr Oldham} TILL. OUR REF: GA.WC.4. YOUR REF: Messrs. Rolls-Royce Ltd., DERBY. 31st March, 1937. For Mr.Leslie's attention. Dear Mr.Leslie, I thank you for your letter of the 25th instant. We are looking into the lumpy-feel on the control with a view of getting over this difficulty. Your sketch No. RM.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}344 seems, as you say, promising and may be utilised to advantage, although I do not like the lever position. However I think we can overcome the objection to this as it cuts the cam action out. By the way, at the moment I have arranged to be in Birmingham on Wednesday next (7th April) and if you are going to be at the Works on Tuesday I would like to call on you on Tuesday afternoon. Perhaps you would let me know if this will be convenient for you. Yours sincerely, p.p.THE GORDON ARMSTRONG PATENT SUSPENSION CO.LTD. GdnArmstrong | ||
