HS{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Les/10/KW. Exptl. Dept. Messrs. Rolls-Royce, Ltd., DERBY. LES Dear Sirs, Attention of Mr. Leslie. We thank you for your letter of the 16th inst. and are pleased to note that you propose to use Silentbloc Bushes in an anti-roll rod assembly. The gauge of the inner tube of each of the Silentbloc Bushes you mention is 12 S.W.G. but on the standard bush there is no chamfer. We can arrange to make up special bushes, in which case the chamfer angle can be to suit your requirements. The chamfer on the Hartford shock absorber is 45° X 1/16". Yours faithfully, SILENTBLOC LIMITED. TECHNICAL DEPARTMENT. | ||
