| 1305 EXPERIMENTAL DEPARTMENT. Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/FWK.8/JH. 10th. December, 1938. Toledo Woodhead Springs Ltd., Toledo Steel Works, SHEFFIELD.1. For the attention of Mr. Frank Woodhead. Leaf Springs Dear Sirs, We would like to know whether you have received any further supplies of the toughened interleaving from the U.S.A. yet. If you have received any or are expecting any in the very near future, will you please let us know. We ask this because we are in need of a pair of springs which we want to run either with your latest type of interleaving or else with the new interleaving supplied by Ferodo. If you cannot supply us with the new interleaving we will want the spring leaves building up without any. The leaves for this particular spring are 2¼" wide and have 56" eye centres. We will send the remaining details when we have heard from you. Yours faithfully, FOR ROLL-ROYCE LTD. | ||
