| -2- Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Smth.4/KW.15.5.36. (3) We discussed the question of "run out" and crimping on the 13½" driven plates, and pointed out that we have not yet had a production clutch which frees properly. You said you would make arrangements to test the flatness of the plates between two parallel faces perpendicular to the axis of the hub. Meanwhile, you will send us some correct plates as quickly as possible so as not to hold up our production. We agreed on dimensions and limits for the run out and crimping, and are having drawings made accordingly. We will send you a print of our drawing in due course for your approval. Yours faithfully, FOR ROLLS-ROYCE LIMITED. | ||
