| GUN 3 5th December, 1940. Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/HH.1/ST.{Capt. P. R. Strong} Messrs. Hall & Hall, Ltd., Oldfield Works, HAMPTON. Middlesex. Dear Sirs, We have been endeavouring to telephone you today with reference to Sorbo Rubber mounting, but were unfortunately unable to contact your Sales Department. We are urgently requiring reception of rubber covered Sorbo, which is produced at your Works. The section we require is No.26 on your specimen card, and we enclose herewith a blue print of the section, in order to confirm the size. The width of web, namely .468", is the minimum dimension we shall require, but your wider section can be trimmed to suit our requirements. We are experimenting with this mounting to form a water tight joint for a tool box, and would be grateful if you could send us, by return, a sample two yards, in order that we may complete this sample tool box. Will you also give us prices and delivery date for approximately 1000 yards. Awaiting your earliest reply, Yours faithfully, | ||
