| Contd. -2- By 10/P29.10.20. type. We think that finally for the fan drive the latest sample of belt, which is approximately half way between the original standard Whittle and the half link Whittle, will be the best compromise to use. He, has a sample of this belt under test. Will Wd. {Mr Wood / Mr Whitehead} kindl try to make arrangements to sell the condemned belts to some of the Motor Accessor firms, who will do doubt have a market for same and may be actually using this type of belt, as most firms still consider it to be rather better than the Whittle.
