| 1021 24th August, 1941. Rn{Mr Robinson}/EAC:3/HT. The Empire Rubber Co., Ltd., D U N S T A B L E, Beds. Attention of Mr. Watson. Dear Sirs, As arranged during our visit to your Works recently, we are sending you herewith blue print RB.{R. Bowen}15124, showing a section of glasing strip. We should be glad to know the nearest section that you have to this, as we do not wish to put you to the trouble of making a die unless it is absolutely essential. For the time being, we should only require two lengths of 90". Enclosed is also a print MB.153, showing section of a rubber seal which we wish to have for fixing a Lucas illuminated number plate. We should be glad to know if you have a similar section which would be suitable for this purpose. We have shown a hollow section, but should you have a solid section in soft rubber or sponge with a live skin, either of these might be suitable, as again we only want sufficient for two cars, for the time being. Yours faithfully, | ||
