| 387. March 15th.1938 Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Gry.{Shadwell Grylls}2/AP. Messrs. Hardy Spicer & Co.Ltd., Birch Road, Witton, BIRMINGHAM 6 For the attention of Mr.K.E.Tatlow. Dear Sirs, Thank you for your quotation dated 14th inst. for a Phantom III. shaft to our drawing G.85718. We note on the drawing you send 37/0544 that you show rectangular coupling flanges. When we rang Mr.Daniell up about this three or four days ago he said that they were replaced by circular flanges of 4.5" outside diameter. We should like the sample shaft we have ordered and production supplies to have the round flange. Yours faithfully, FOR ROLLS-ROYCE LTD. | ||
