April, 1939. G.H. Grylls Esq., Messrs. Rolls-Royce, Ltd., DERBY. Dear Grylls, Many thanks for your letter of April 19th., and for the air silencer which arrived to-day. This, together with a copy of your Patent Specification which we possess, will give us all the information we require, and I do not think it will be necessary to destroy the silencer. We will return it to you in a few days. I am enclosing herewith an arrangement drawing of our back axle, and also a detail drawing of the axle shaft. You will also find a list of weights, torques, and gear ratios which I think completes the story. Yours sincerely, [Signature] ENCLS: Drawings & lists as above. | ||
