NEWCASTLE-ON-TYNE 2A, ELDON PLACE, BARRAS BRIDGE. Messrs. Rolls-Royce Ltd., Derby. For the attention of Mr. A.F. Martindale. Dear Sirs, With regard to the test rig which you saw last Tuesday, we are already modifying the paper drive and would confirm collecting your tenth second contact breaker and Solenoid yesterday, for which we are greatly obliged. We quite agree that this should prove an extremely useful additional test on all friction linings, and we shall certainly keep the final arrangement on the rig as a permanency. We have also entered an urgent order this morning for 20 pieces of Ferodo VG.90 brake lining to your drawing GB.3760, and we should be obliged if you would inform Mr. Chandler that a similar urgent order has been entered for the 4 Ferodo RAD.11 clutch discs which he asked for yesterday. We look forward to receiving from you the three special cast iron discs as soon as these are available. Yours faithfully, FERODO LIMITED. W.E. Shilton, per fW. Technical Department.
