| 6119 13th February, 1941. RM{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/HC.2/MI. Messrs. Delco-Remy & Hyatt Ltd., 111, Grosvenor Road, LONDON, S.W.1. For the attention of Mr. E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} Rushton. Dear Sirs, Thank you for your letter of the 10th. February, detailing the permissible angle at which the distributor may be mounted from the vertical. The project in question, which is not bound up with the three four-cylinder type distributors which you recently drew up for us, is not yet sufficiently developed for us to give you details of the drive etc. However, at this stage it reached, we shall be happy to let you have such details before deciding on the final arrangement. I can state that the angle of inclination will be well within your limit of 50 degrees. Thanking you for your kind assistance. Yours faithfully, For ROLLS-ROYCE LIMITED, | ||
