Experimental Dept. CTS{C. Trot Salt - Carburation} 3rd September, 1938. File in file 1256 Messrs. Rolls Royce Ltd., Derby. Dear Sirs, We thank you for your letter of the 2nd inst., and the writer will be at Slough with Mr. Howlett on the 13th September, which is the proposed date of the meeting with High Duty Alloys. On the other hand I shall be visiting Derby on Wednesday next, the 7th inst., and would be very pleased to have an opportunity of chatting with you this subject of test pieces on that occasion. We presume we shall be quite in order in asking for you, as we have to see Mr. Clough on the subject of piston rings with which you have been experiencing some peculiar wear conditions, and this will be an opportune moment to discuss this matter. Yours faithfully, For WELLWORTHY PISTON RINGS LTD., [Signature] Technical Manager. | ||
