| B76 Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Gry.{Shadwell Grylls}3/MH.{M. Huckerby} 1st. May, 1939. Messrs. Cornercroft Ltd., Ace Works, Queen Victoria Road, COVENTRY. For the attention of Mr. Rycroft. Dear Sirs, We send you herewith an arrangement drawing of the front wheel assembly we shall eventually be using on production. We should be glad if you would let us know whether it is possible to fit the usual variety of "Ace" disc to this wheel, particularly in view of the close clearance between the brake drum and the wheel balance weights. Yours faithfully, for ROLLS-ROYCE LTD. | ||
