| B. Hopkins, Esq. -2- 18.11.37. you some, but he has not done so. I can only assure you that we will see you get as much as you want before the end of the year. We should like to know what the price of this graphite bronze stuff is likely to be in production quantities, and what thickness, etc. it is likely to be because, if the cost is favourable, we shall immediately start to design it into our brakes and clutches for the future. Would it be possible for you to keep us informed, say, monthly what progress is being made ? Yours sincerely, | ||
