Dear Sirs, We thank you for your letter dated 9th September regarding the Klingerit washers supplied to your order number 67775 and we are surprised to learn that slight trouble has been experienced with flaking of the material. From the blue print number ECD.846 it is difficult for us to understand how the joint is held in position but we would suggest that you try our Klinger "Oilit" material. Under separate cover we have despatched 12 joints in our "Oilit" material for your inspection and we shall be pleased to learn the results of your tests in due course. Yours faithfully, RICHARD KLINGER LTD. For Managing Director.
