Hallam - Head Repairs} Incidentally, we find that Woodhead did pass on the estimated cost of Jackson board just as they received it. The error was Mr. Martindale's. We are very grateful to you for the hospitality extended to our representative. Since both Jackson board and the American stuff are impregnated with wax, will it not melt and run out when tested on your rig if the temperature gets as high as you said it would?
