X. 3513 Insulating Material. I confirm mine Wd{Mr Wood/Mr Whitehead}2/NJ.30.4.21 and acknowledge yours R7/G27.4.21. I have before me a letter from Springfield ref.- Oy3/G9421, of 9th ult. headed "Bakelite Insulation" and assume that you have received a copy of the same letter. Said letter confirms that the Damard Lacquer Co. Ltd. are the licensees in this country of the General Bakelite Co. and said letter states that these people manufacture Bakelite mouldings. I regret to say this latter statement is not correct; the Damard Lacquer Co. only manufacturing the moulding powders. I have arranged to visit the Damard Lacquer Co. Ltd. on Thursday or Friday this week to obtain further information, which I will communicate to you. Wd.{Mr Wood/Mr Whitehead} | ||
