Noted Rmyfod Dear Sirs, Replying to your letter of the 28th April, addressed for the attention of Mr. Longley, we note that the length of belt to piece number EB.4844 has been slightly increased. The two nearest Ferogrip moulds are as follows:- V.155 - 5/8" top width, 7/16" thick, 32° angle, 39.125" inside circumference. V.111 - 5/8" top width, 7/16" thick, 32° angle, 39.75" inside circumference. It will be noted that the cross section of both these belts is correct and is the same as mould V.100. We have received an order from you for six belts to part No. EB.4844, so that we shall be much obliged if you will let us know which Ferogrip belt you would like us to supply. Yours faithfully, FERODO LIMITED. [Signature] | ||
