| The Gandy Belt Manufacturing Co.Ltd. -2- 16.12.37. yet experience has shown us that there is never any permanent necessity to use expensive material, and the use of such we regard as a temporary expedient only. As an example of this in your own line of business, we are using inexpensive moulded american linings for the time being because we find them superior to the more expensive woven English linings. We enclose a print of the results of tests on one of your linings, as requested. Yours faithfully, For ROLLS-ROYCE LTD. | ||
