| 1132. EXPERIMENTAL DEPARTMENT. Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Wym.{G. Harold Whyman - Experimental Manager}6/JH. 18th. July, 1939. R.K. Dundas Ltd., The Airport, PORTSMOUTH. For the attention of R.D. King Esq. Managing Director. Dear Sirs, We understand from our Mr. A.{Mr Adams} Anderson, London Depot, that you have been successful in treating exhaust silencer parts against corrosion by a special spraying process, and he has requested us to get in touch with you direct. We have had a lot of experience with various kinds of treatments of mild steel against corrosion, and would be very pleased if you could give us some idea of this treatment and possibly treat some parts for us. We should also like to know if it is possible to weld the parts after treatment. Yours faithfully, FOR ROLLS-ROYCE LTD. | ||
