| X1262 Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Gry{Shadwell Grylls}4/R.{Sir Henry Royce} 4th November, 1936. Messrs. Benjamin Whittaker Ltd., Victoria House, Southampton Row, LONDON. W.C.1. Dear Sirs, Your Reference EJS/MWD. Thank you for your letter of the 3rd. We note you do not carry out dynamic balancing on your propeller shafts. We do not think it would be any use your supply-ing us with the end yokes for test, as our chief interest lies in obtaining a complete propeller shaft which there is no necessity to balance at our own works. Yours faithfully, For ROLLS-ROYCE LTD. | ||
