Rolls Royce Ltd., Derby. how Ru/650 Dear Mr. Steadman, I thank you for your letter of the 21st September enclosing fan belt drawing ED.{J. L. Edwards}4202, which I have passed on to the proper quarter. In this letter you ask if we should have difficulty in supplying Ferobestos NW{N. Walker - Patents}1 pieces to drawings EXS.1008 and 1009. 1009 does present difficulties but if the samples sent to you will do, they can be made at slightly higher cost than ordinary NW{N. Walker - Patents}1. I will have the manufacturing costs ascertained and will ask our Sales Department to answer this part of your letter when these costs are available. Yours truly, FERODO LIMITED Monglen Chief Chemist & Director. | ||
