| x3117 EXPT. DEPT. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Bwg.{J. C. Bowring}13/KW. 24th September, 1934. Messrs. Donald Sessions & Co.Ltd., 906, Harrow Road, Willesden, LONDON, N.W.10. For attention Mr. Donald Sessions. Dear Sirs, With reference to the modified type Jacks which you recently supplied to us. We are returning to-day the 20/25 HP. front Jack, the bracket of which you will see has collapsed, bending the studs and buckling the Jack Housing. Actually we were not testing the Jacks when this one collapsed, the car was raised on all three Jacks for brake examination, the N.S. Rear was then lowered and under the strain the front bracket collapsed. Will you please look into this immediately, meanwhile we will endeavour to have made two similar brackets as used on the 40/50 HP. Yours faithfully, FOR ROLLS-ROYCE LIMITED. | ||
