Your ref: Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}Std.2/MH{M. Huckerby} REF. FEP/HFC Messrs. Rolls-Royce Ltd., DERBY. December 15th. 1938. Dear Sirs, HEATER DRIVE. --------------- We have studied your Drawing SDC.1042 and agree with your suggestion in principle. The only alteration we suggest is to bring the rubber flush with the bore to enable simple moulding at the bonding operation and also to give a slightly greater bonded area. This is shewn on our enclosed drawing No: 13.55. Referring to the 2nd. paragraph in your letter of the 10th. instant, we can let you have samples within 7 days of receipt of your order and in this case we would be pleased to supply the unit complete and save you the trouble of getting these small parts made. We look forward to receiving your sample order, but suggest we make 3 such units for your experimental purposes. Yours faithfully, METALASTIK LIMITED, Technical Department. Encs; | ||
