| Your Ref. LGC/KH. GENERAL RUBBER GOOD DIVISION. Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Std.9/AP. The Avon India Rubber Co.Ltd., Melksham, Wilts. For the attention of Mr.Clemson. Dear Sirs, Referring to your letter of the 9th inst., we regret the delay in replying but last week was a general holiday at these works. With regard to the mould which you mention - we have an adaptor as shown on Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}292 attached and will arrange to forward this to you if you will let us know whether you require it. We do not see any necessity for a new mould and would certainly like to have an estimate of its cost before we agree to its being put in hand - particularly as we are not very optimistic about the success of this valve seating, from the results which we have had to date. Yours faithfully, FOR ROLLS-ROYCE LTD. | ||
