| Roy.{Sir Henry Royce} From Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Les.{Ivan A. Leslie} γ 3035. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Les.13/MJ.14.12.32. Attached herewith copy of a letter we have sent to the British Goodrich Rubber Co. of Burton-on-Trent. Will you please issue an order to cover the 36 rubber rings to Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}793. When Mr. Skellon was here yesterday, we arranged for him to supply some sample rubbers consisting of approx. 6 grades. This is in order that we may in future know exactly what grade of rubber each new item will be made from. We have asked for four samples of each grade to be made in the mould used for F.58133. Each rubber is to have a reference No. moulded on to it. Will you please issue an order to cover these sample rubber blocks. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/I.A.Leslie. | ||
