| 446 March 23rd.1938 Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Les.9/AP. Messrs John Thompsons Pressings Ltd., Beacon Works, WOLVERHAMPTON. For the attention of Mr.Hunt. Dear Sirs, I am enclosing a set of the latest frame drawings and would like you to let me have an estimate for producing one frame to these drawings and the time required. The long frame arrived this morning and looks to be quite satisfactory. We have now completed 50 hours running on our destruction rig with the previous rivetted frame and it appears to be satisfactory. You will notice on these new drawings we have removed the holes in the various parts, as there is a possibility that these will be changed. Yours faithfully, FOR ROLLS-ROYCE LTD. | ||
