| X1110 Exptl. Dept. HS{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Smth.17/KW. 22nd April, 1936. Messrs. Borg & Beck Ltd., Tachbrook Rd., Leamington Spa. For the attention of Mr. Barker. Dear Sirs, We despatched to you yesterday a 10" driven plate which we should like you to reline with Ferodo "No.6" material. There is no question that the 10" type clutch in its present form is prone to jagger, and we are very anxious to try the new facing. We shall shortly be requiring the 11A3 clutch which you are modifying for us, and should be glad to have delivery at your early convenience. Yours faithfully, FOR ROLLS-ROYCE LIMITED. | ||
