| 1205 EXPERIMENTAL DEPARTMENT. Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/AFM.{Anthony F. Martindale}28/JH. 18th. January, 1939. E.I. Du Pont De Nemours & Co. Bush House, Aldwych, LONDON.W.C.2. For the attention of Mr. F.G. Singer. Your ref. FGS/JDA. Dear Sirs, We are unable to trace the person who telephoned you last October, asking for some 'Orel' rubber lubricant but if you would say what is the exact purpose of the lubricant, this would be helpful to us. The writer would in any case, be interested to try a sample of your product because we have many varied uses for rubber in the Works. Yours faithfully, FOR ROLLS-ROYCE LTD. | ||
