| Rolls-Royce Limited Page 2 when you mentioned that Ferogrip had set up a record that we might like to beat. We most certainly would, and we honestly think that we can. With your cooperation in giving us the information we need to redesign our belts somewhat, I think we will really have something that will please you tremendously. We are enjoying this experimental work on your behalf, and we certainly appreciate your cooperation. Together, I am confident that we can pro-duce a belt that deserves to be on a Rolls-Royce car. And after all, I can't think of a finer compliment for a V-belt than that -- can you, Mr. Steadman? Needless to say, we are going to be looking forward to your letter with the necessary information with an unusual amount of interest. Your last report really put us on our mettle. Cordially P. L.
