Ferodo Limited, Sovereign Mills, Chapel-en-le-Frith. Dear Sirs, With reference to our Mr. Hancock's visit to your Works today, in connection with the brake linings which you supply to us, and specified on our detail drawings as .375, we understand that it would help you considerably if these could be .400" thick, and after looking into the matter we find that there would be no objection to this, therefore in future it would be quite in order if you supply the thicker material. Yours faithfully, FOR ROLLS-ROYCE LIMITED. M Harvey Bailey TECHNICAL PRODUCTION ENGINEER. Cgh{W Clough} [STAMP] RECEIVED 1932 JAN | ||
