| 1305 Experimental Dept. Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Les.7/MH.{M. Huckerby} 28th. May 1938. Messrs.Wilmot Breeden Ltd., Eastern Works, Camden Street, BIRMINGHAM, 1. For the attention of Mr.C.H.Stephenson. Dear Sirs, we have experienced one or two failures of the Bentley 'A' stabiliser spring plates on customers' cars in France. This is the type without the additional short plates at the 'U' bolt attachment as used on the latest stabilisers. In result we are, therefore, considering fitting the additional short spring plates on certain cars running in France and would like to know the cost of 50 pairs of additional short plates in your standard material and the longer 'U' bolts. I should be very grateful if you could let me have this figure as soon as possible. Yours faithfully, for ROLLS-ROYCE LTD. | ||
