Dear Sirs, For the attention of Mr. Dixon. We are sending you herewith a set of case hardened steel rollers. These vary between top and bottom limits and therefore should constitute a fairly average set. We have not actually run these case hardened ones, but we have tried some in the soft state and they appear to have no detrimental effect. As case hardened these came out about a thou. oversize, and they have therefore been polished on the periphery. Yours faithfully, For THE S.U. CARBURETTER CO. LTD. R Leslie Kent ENCLOSURE | ||
