| - 2 - W. A.{Mr Adams} Robotham Esq. 2nd. Sept. 1937. I believe you have had some dealings with the Silentbloc people over rubber bushes which will take a certain amount of end thrust and would therefore be suitable for the outboard bearings of transverse parallelogram independent suspension. We should be interested to know if these bearings really do take end thrust without much give, or damage to themselves, or if this is merely a pious hope on the part of the Silentbloc people. Yours sincerely, THE ROVER COMPANY LIMITED. M.C. Wilks Technical Department. M.C.Wilks. P.S. With regard to your intended visit, any date by or before the 29th, will be suitable. Will you let us know when you are coming. | ||
