For the attention of W.A.Robotham, Esq., Messrs.Rolls-Royce,Ltd., Expl. Dept. Derby. Dear Sirs, With reference to the recent breakage of air line or pressure balance line which occurred on one of your cars in France, we are forwarding to you under separate cover, marked for Mr.Robotham's attention, our suggestion with regard to the incorporation of a support on the instrument body, for the triple air line and armoured hose, so as to avoid any possibility of the end of the armoured hose and triple air line being unsupported near the instrument. We think that this will prove a solution of the trouble, and shall be obliged if you will let us have your remarks before making up a set for actual trial on a car. | ||
