+4635 HS.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} BY15/H.{Arthur M. Hanbury - Head Complaints} 6.8.25. I attach herewith copy of a letter and my reply to same, which we have received from the Calorizing Corporation. You will note from my previous memoranda that I am attempting to obtain Rustless Steel pipes as the simplest way out of the trouble. We have handed a piece of pipe to RHC.{R. H. Coverley - Production Engineer} to see whether it can be dip brazed, and if it should prove to be capable of being so treated, then I certainly think we have got a clear way out of our difficulties in this direction. In the meantime, you will note we are pressing for a sample set of pipes to be calorized and protected where later we would have to braze our flanges on to same. Dyn with unlagged pipes BY.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} Ry ENCLOSURE Nº 439 JUSTSO | ||
