| X 111.D Exptl. Dept. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Smth.25/KW. 31st January, 1936. The Borg & Beck Clutch Co.Ltd., Tachbrook Road, Leamington Spa. Dear Sirs, Further to our telephone conversation of this afternoon, we beg to inform you that we shall not require to fit the 13½" plate until Monday morning. This being the case it will be sufficient if you could arrange for the plate to arrive in Derby at that time. We assume that when we get the plate it will be in correct balance and ready for fitting straight away. We beg to confirm that we have arranged for the necessary hub and rivets to be despatched to you to-night. Yours faithfully, FOR ROLLS-ROYCE LIMITED. As we informed Mr. Barker during his last visit, the actual pressure plate separation on this clutch is .075", not .085" as we said previously. | ||
