| 1269 Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Std.6/MH.{M. Huckerby} 28th. January 1938. Messrs. The Skefco Ball Bearing Co. Ltd., Luton, BEDS. Dear Sirs, We were given to understand some months ago by Messrs.Vauxhall Ltd. that you were developing for them the combined water pump ball bearing shaft assembly (bearings permanently sealed) shown on the attached blue print, similar to the "New Departure" unit which they now use on their 25 H.P. car. As we are anxious to use this unit ourselves, we would welcome any available information from yourselves as to whether you are yet in a position to supply these units, or when you expect to be able to do so. Yours faithfully, for ROLLS-ROYCE LTD. | ||
