June, asking us to make up two steam valve seatings to Ex.25779. We are putting this work in hand at once and we have a quality which we think will suit your requirements exceptionally well. It will be necessary in order to get the best result, to have a small experimental mould but we take it you will have no objection to our putting this in and we will keep the cost as low as possible. Yours faithfully, THE AVON INDIA RUBBER CO., LTD. Sales Manager, General Rubber Goods Division. | ||
