HARD ROLLED BRONZE BUSHINGS FL/BJT 13th June 1938. Messrs. Rolls Royce Limited, DERBY. Dear Sirs, Your Reference:- Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Swdl.{Len H. Swindell}9/MH.{M. Huckerby} Experimental Dept. We thank you for your letter of the 9th June enclosing blue prints of Rocker Bush and Small End Bush, and note you require these finished. We regret, however, it is not possible for us to supply Bushes to the finished dimensions as the whole object of our pressed Bush is to leave a certain amount in the bore for final reamering in position. We shall be pleased to hear, therefore, that you are prepared to accept these Bushes, made by our usual method of production, when we will prepare a quotation for the quantities mentioned, also blue prints showing recommended sizes, inspection method and reamering allowance. Awaiting your reply and assuring you of our best attention at all times. Yours faithfully, VANDERVELL PRODUCTS LIMITED. THE SOCIETY OF MOTOR MANUFACTURERS & TRADERS LTD | ||
