| Continuation No. -1- Messrs. Rolls-Royce, Ltd., 31st October, 1940. for the writer to call and discuss the layouts already submitted. We are making our preliminary tests of the 11" brakes with a normal backplate, but think it will eventually be desirable to make and test a brake spider of the type you propose to use on the car. Yours faithfully, AUTOMOTIVE PRODUCTS COMPANY LIMITED. Sg{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} Parnell F.{Mr Friese} G.{Mr Griffiths - Chief Accountant / Mr Gnapp} Parnell. | ||
