Dear Sirs, Will you please supply us with your catalogue of screws, bolts, nuts etc., which are used in the motor body building business. We should also be glad to know if you are makers of binding head screws. As an indication of the type of screw to which we refer, the size of the head of a 3/16" Whitworth screw is .5" dia. by .08" thick. This type of screw is used largely on the bodies of Ford cars. We should also be glad to know if you manufacture shake proof washers for use with the type of screw we require. Will you please mark your reply for the attention of Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/EAG. Yours faithfully, FOR ROLLS-ROYCE, LTD., | ||
