| Oy Exptl. Dept. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/FJH.{Fred J. Hardy - Chief Dev. Engineer}19/KW. 25th May, 1936. M.{Mr Moon / Mr Moore} Olley, Esq., Messrs. Vauxhall Motors Ltd., Luton, Beds. Dear Mr. Olley, Re your note asking for particulars of our spring testing machine. I am afraid our machine does not draw load deflection diagrams but it does accurately and quickly measure the load at a predetermined length. The machine is suitable for tension and compression coil springs and has a 360° scale of about 18" dia. reading up to 180 lbs. It is made by Averys, and the type No. is A721/293. Yours truly, FOR ROLLS-ROYCE LIMITED. | ||
