| [Handwritten] Mr Appel Expl. Dept. 2nd. November, 1936. Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}6/MJ. Mr. King, Chief Engineer, Messrs. Vauxhall Motors Ltd., Luton, Beds. Dear Mr. King, Thank you for the time you gave to us during our visit the other day, and the information you gave us. We have checked up your valve spring and find that this is well up to the best American practice as you will see from the attached report. With regard to the propeller shaft damper to eliminate overrun rattles in the transmission I find that in error these drawings were addressed to Mr. Appel but you will see from the attached note that they are still in your factory. You will doubtless now be able to get hold of them. Yours sincerely, | ||
