| 1110. Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/NRC.{N. R. Chandler}19/JH. 15th March, 1938. Messrs. Borg & Beck Co.Ltd., Tachbrook Road, Leamington Spa. For the attention of Mr. Barker. Dear Sirs, re Long 10 F.O. Clutch. We thank you for your favour of 10th inst. and the C.F. diagram. We have carefully considered your remarks and agree to your suggestion to try a spring thrust of 1215.lbs. When we suggested a higher thrust we did not know that the centrifugal assistance reached such high figures as shown on the curve. Yours faithfully, FOR ROLLS-ROYCE LTD. | ||
