| 1110 Exptl. Dept. Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Smth.30/JH. 29th October, 1936. Messrs. Borg & Beck Ltd., Taxhbrook Road, Leamington Spa. For the attention of Mr. Barker: Dear Sirs, Now have now taken down the 10 A.3. type clutch which we have been running in a Bentley chassis under endurance conditions. We find that two of the pressure plate lugs have worn into the cover by about 1/32". We should like you to visit us to inspect the clutch and discuss the matter at an early date. We hope to be able to send Mr. Armitage the report on the sample of S.82 steel very shortly. Yours faithfully, FOR ROLLS-ROYCE LTD. | ||
