617. Experimental Dept. Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Swdl.{Len H. Swindell}15/MH.{M. Huckerby} 30th. November 1938. The Manganese Bronze & Brass Co. Ltd., Watling Street, Dunstable, BEDS. Dear Sirs, In reply to your letter of the 28th. inst. we have produced a design of flexible coupling to EXS.1143/4/5, which drawing we enclose. These couplings should give a torsional flexibility of not less than 8° at the maximum torque. Before asking you to produce any couplings we should like you to submit quotations, say, for 3 samples, also in quantities of 200, 500 and 1,000. Yours faithfully, for ROLLS-ROYCE LTD. | ||
