MEMO FROM TOLEDO WOODHEAD SPRINGS Limited, TOLEDO STEEL WORKS, Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Clm.{D. D. Clapham}6/JMS. SHEFFIELD, 1. WY.OW. For the attention of Mr. W. A.{Mr Adams} Robotham. Dear Sirs, Spring Interleaving. In reply to your letter of the 25th instant we have now gone through our stock of interleaf, and find that we have a small amount of Spauldite from which we could fabricate 4 sets of interleaving suitable for the 50" Spring 2" wide (say FB4271, 1000 lbs.). We regret, however, that we cannot supply you from our stocks with Spauldite interleaving for the 56" Spring 2¼" wide. In the event of our being able in the meantime to get a hold of some interleaf for the 2¼" wide spring, we should be pleased if you would let us know which particular spring you require, as we have to bear in mind that the stepping of the spring leaves varies with each different grading of steel depending on the load required. We await your instructions and remain, Yours faithfully, For and on behalf of TOLEDO WOODHEAD SPRINGS LTD. W. P. Yaneske. Technical Dept. | ||
