Dear Sirs, With reference to the drawings you submitted to us some time ago for a split seal to prevent oil leaks from the rear main bearing of our 20/25 HP. engine, we should prefer to test this seal on our larger car. We send you herewith drawings of the crankshaft and end covers at present used with a felt ring. We should be glad if you would make for us two seals for test purposes, to suit this engine. Our Order Office will send you an official order. Yours faithfully, FOR ROLLS-ROYCE LIMITED. | ||
