| Clutches general 1/10 Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}3/SW. 30th November, 1940. Vandervell Products, Ltd., Western Avenue, Acton, LONDON. W.3. Attention of Mr. G.A. Vandervell. Dear Sirs, Thank you for your letter of the 27th November. If Johnson or yourself can make a trip up here in the immediate future, we can decide what bearings to put in hand. As you knew I would rather have tri-metal than lead bronze, but I was impressed by Leylands results. Yours sincerely, | ||
