H.E.West, Esq., Messrs.Rolls-Royce, Ltd., Derby. 6th October, 1936. Dear Mr.West, I am very much obliged for your letter of the 5th instant. We have made exhaustive tests already with all forms of glass wool separation and this continues to be one of the innumerable materials that we have under experiment in our Research Laboratory. I am very interested in what you say about soft rubber. Apparently the possibility of its application rests entirely upon the resistance of the rubber to oil. Yours faithfully, ECM McKinnon | ||
