1020a Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Mths.{Reg Matthews}12/MH.{M. Huckerby} 23rd. December 1937. Messrs. Dennis Bros. Ltd., Guildford, SURREY. For the attention of Mr. J.Milne. Dear Sirs, We are despatching your connecting rods complete with bearings by passenger train to-day, and trust you have not been greatly inconvenienced by the delay. With regard to the final boring and running of these rods will you please keep the liners in position as we prefer to have the "big-end" bore of the rod a true diameter. With regard to the cost of these experimental sets of bearings the writer will let you know full details after the Christmas holidays and will also be available should you require his services when you recommence your tests. Yours faithfully, for ROLLS-ROYCE LTD. | ||
