| Page 2. Continuation of Letter from VANDERVELL PRODUCTS LTD dated 5th May 1939. To W.A.Robotham Esq., Messrs Rolls Royce Ltd., be very pleased if you will inspect the same and let me have your comments. It might be interesting to you to know that I have just heard from Ben Hopkins, who says that tests have been made at G.M. on 3 Layer Bearings, with the result that they are satisfied that this material is as good, if not better from a performance point of view, than any lead bronze bearing they have used, without any of their familiar vices. Kind regards, Yours sincerely, G A Vandervell Encs. | ||
