Dear Mr. Steadman, As requested by you this morning, I am enclosing herewith an advance report on such of your fan belts as we have been able to test. Testing has ceased for the time-being owing to the collapse of the pulley ball bearings and so this report is concerned only with the Gates Velco and the Dayton Cog Belts. I was indeed sorry to find that after all your Rotoscope had not been returned to you but we have sent it passenger train today. A fortnight ago we received the "Strobotac" instrument and are very pleased indeed with it, and we have to thank you for introducing it to us. Yours truly, FERODO LIMITED J Longley Chief Chemist & Director. | ||
