Huckerby} Our Ref CWG/DC 30th June, 1938 Messrs. Rolls-Royce Ltd., Experimental Dept. DERBY. Dear Sirs, MR. E.R. HALL'S ROLLS ROYCE ENGINE. We thank you for your letter of the 29th inst. in regard to the above, and are taking the matter up further with Mr. Hall. At the moment we are preparing special reverse gear feet to match the engine supports, and as the forward feet on your engine are standard with you we should be glad to have a dimension from the centre line of the crank shaft down to the bottom of the feet, so that we/can make the other supports to suit. We thank you for your offer to make up the 5/16 bolts for us, and we may take advantage of this later, but will leave it over for the moment. Yours faithfully, THE PARSONS ENGINEERING CO. LTD.
