We are sending you under separate cover some samples of Sheet, Rod and Tube for experimental purposes. For any further information we are at your service. We hold large stocks of Bakelite-Dilecto at our Works at East Croydon. The process of manufacture, however, of this material is a rapid one and although the material is very much used in this country, there are no definite standards, we therefore find it impossible to stock every size enquired for, especially Tubes, but these, as already mentioned, can be supplied in any diameter and thickness of wall in 4/5 weeks. We remain, Dear Sirs, Yours faithfully, ROBERT W.BLACKWELL & CO.LTD. (Sgd) ................. Managing Director. | ||
