YOUR REF. Rm {William Robotham - Chief Engineer} /Gry. {Shadwell Grylls} 3/JH. OUR REF. NR/W. 22nd August, 1939. Messrs. Rolls-Royce Ltd., Derby. For the attention of Mr. Grylls. Dear Sirs, We are in receipt of your letter of the 21st instant addressed for the attention of Mr. Corner, who is at the moment away on holiday. We thank you for Drawing NO. PD.485 showing the modified spider arrangement, and are proceeding with a set of discs similar to the sample previously supplied. Regarding the third paragraph of your letter there appears to be ample clearance for the central stud. We take it that only four spiders and four discs will be required per set, as no doubt the spare wheel will be enclosed in a cover and will not require disc equipment. Delivery will be made as soon as possible. We are, Yours faithfully, For CORNERCROFT LIMITED. Joint Managing Director. | ||
