| 1155 Experimental Department Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/FJH.{Fred J. Hardy - Chief Dev. Engineer}9/AP. 22nd. December 1936. Messrs. The British Thomson-Houston Co.Ltd., RUGBY For the attention of R.J.Chapman Esq. Dear Sirs, We thank you for your letter of the 16th inst., and for the special fine mesh fabric gear blank, which we have received. We were wondering whether you could send us another of these special blanks, as we would like to run one in a car engine. In case we should wish to standardise this type of blank, we would like to know how the cost would compare with the present blank and we should be glad if you could give us an estimate of this. Yours faithfully, FOR ROLLS-ROYCE LIMITED. | ||
