| W.W. CONSTANTINE. CONSULTING ENGINEER. 111, GROSVENOR ROAD, LONDON, S.W.1. ENG. TEL: VICTORIA 3537-3538. 26th. June. 1933. Messrs. Rolls-Royce, Ltd., Derby. Dear Sirs, Textolite. With regard to your letter of the 2nd. instant Refce. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}3/KT. I have made enquiries of our people concerning Buick Timing Gears, and find that we always import these complete so they can give me no information as to whether the above material is obtainable in this country or not. I am enclosing, however, a copy of letter of the 21st. instant from The British Thomson-Houston Company, Ltd., which may give you the information you require although it is not clear from their letter whether the material Fabroil-A is identical with Textolite or not. I hope this information may be useful to you but if it is not sufficient for your purpose I shall be pleased to make further enquiries if you would like me to do so. Yours faithfully, W. W. CONSTANTINE. WWC/KG. 218. ENCLO: | ||
