Dear Sirs, "Donflex" Clutch. We thank you for your letter ref. AK/MB of the 14th. We have not tried the discs you supplied in 1932 as we are no longer interested in that size. If however you could supply us with a clutch centre to replace that shown on the attached drawing, we are in a position to test this both as regards wear and smooth take up. Perhaps you will let us know whether you have a disc of a suitable size. Yours faithfully, FOR ROLLS-ROYCE LIMITED. | ||
