[Handwritten signature: GRY{Shadwell Grylls}] Dear Sirs, For the attention of S.W. Grylls Esq. Please forgive the delay in our reply to your letter of the 12th instant. In point of fact, the present writer was waiting for some Servo motor discs of the new type, but as they are not yet ready any further delay in this acknowledgment might be misconstrued. We hope to forward samples of the new material to-morrow afternoon. Referring to heat treating RAD.13 discs - temperature of 700°F may be effective in one direction but it may militate against the normal service of the discs, but if nothing of a serious character in this direction has arisen we should be perfectly agreeable to relieve you of the baking operation. Yours faithfully, FERODO LIMITED. [Signature: F J Field] CHIEF ENGINEER. July 19th 1934 YOUR REF. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}6/KW OUR REF. FJF/WAC. | ||
