| -X1110 Exptl. Dept. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Smth.27/KW. 8th June, 1936. Messrs. Borg & Beck Ltd., Tachbrook Rd., Leamington Spa. For the attention of Mr. Barker. Dear Sirs, We are about to do some bursting tests on the various types of 13 1/2" plates which we have tried. So as to get complete information we should like to have a facing of American Hyco, if you have one left and can spare it. If so we will send you a covering order for this and the one which Mr. Armitage left with us on a previous occasion. We are returning to you one of the last consignment of 13 1/2" plates with the thicker fabrics. You will notice that you have omitted to fit one of the inner rivets, and we should like this rectifying. We are also sending 3 10" plates for refacing with standard woven material. An official order follows. When you return the plates will you please address them for the writer's attention, so that there is no danger of them going astray. We beg to remind you that we have not yet had delivery of the 10A3 clutch with red springs or the two plates lined with RAD-11 material. Yours faithfully, FOR ROLLS-ROYCE LIMITED. | ||
