Engineer}9/AP OUR REF. JNL/KM Messrs. Rolls Royce Ltd., Derby. Dear Sirs, For the attention of Mr. F.{Mr Friese} J.{Mr Johnson W.M.} Hardy. We thank you for your letter of December 18th, reference Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/FJH.{Fred J. Hardy - Chief Dev. Engineer}9/AP, and are pleased to note that the experimental qualities of clutch servo discs S.5584 and S.5775 are promising. I believe we have recently quoted you for ordinary RAD.13 for part No. 17177 and I am just wondering whether this particular quotation should not be altered to S.5775. Perhaps you will let us know. We have put in hand a further quantity of the S.5584 type discs and these will be delivered to you within the next few days. Yours faithfully, FERODO LIMITED J.{Mr Johnson W.M.} Mongley Chief Chemist & Director. | ||
