Bowring}, file 16th January, 1934. Messrs. Rolls-Royce Ltd., D E R B Y. For the attention of Mr. J.C.Bowering. Dear Sirs, We thank you for your letter of the 15th inst. in connection with fitting D.W.S. Jacks to 20/25 h.p. cars. We note you call our attention to the fact that the axle beam has a lean of 2½° and this should be compensated by a V wedge block between the Jack and the axle beam. For your information, we are aware of this condition and the V packing will be shaped to counteract this lean. We note from the last paragraph of your letter that you will require a strong tag tied to the two-speed handles for the 40/50 h.p. cars, stating the position of the gear markings of 'High' and 'Low' - this will receive our careful attention. Yours faithfully, For DONALD SESSIONS & COMPANY LIMITED. Donald W. Sessions Managing Director. DWS/IKS | ||
