-2- Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/FWK.7/JH. 24th. August, 1939. We are enclosing, in addition to the print, a table showing what thickness of leaves Toledo Woodhead's are able to roll. It would therefore be convenient for us if your suggested design incorporated these thicknesses only. If however you consider that we have not got a sufficient selection of roll sizes, we would be pleased if you would point this out and suggest how we might beneficially augment our supply of rolls. We greatly appreciate this kind offer on your part and look forward to hearing from you in due course. We trust the above information is all you require. Yours faithfully, FOR ROLLS-ROYCE LTD. | ||
