| C O P Y. To Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} from Lr.{Mr Ellor} Lr.{Mr Ellor}1/GB.9.10.36. With reference to our conversation this morning regarding the use of superflexit on aircraft, this is being almost universally used for military and civil work and almost entirely at Hucknall for petrol and oil systems. It is limited for use in temperatures up to 100°C., as above these temperatures the lining becomes unreliable. For this reason it is not used for glycol and water. Lr.{Mr Ellor} | ||
