B.60 BELT PULLEYS. Referring to Rm {William Robotham - Chief Engineer} /Std.5/JH.5.9.38, we find that the first "Ferogrip" belts delivered to us (to piece Nos. EB.3927 and EB.3948) were incorrectly made. We have now obtained belts from the correct mould and have rechecked required pulley angles and top widths. The pulley angles are not appreciably altered but the top widths require to be as shown on attached sheet. Will you please instruct necessary detail alterations and will HPS. {Horace Percy Smith - Experimental Factory Mgr} please produce two sets as soon as possible.
