Mr. Devereux wishes me to tell you that he considers it would certainly be an advantage to us to supply E.R.A. with bearing material, and he takes it that they are already informed on technical questions of required clearances, etc., Mr. Devereux wonders whether you consider it desirable that we should supply material direct in the form of ingot, or whether you will supply in the form of cast bearing shells. Yours faithfully, For and on behalf of HIGH DUTY ALLOYS LIMITED. Sanders ASSISTANT TO MANAGING DIRECTOR. | ||
