Dear Mr. Robotham, Confirming our telephone conversation this afternoon, we are glad to note that there is a possibility of you accompanying Mr. Steadman here on Monday morning. The position is that we have made the necessary provision for running your fan and, in fact, have had it running. The accompanying conditions, however, are somewhat more severe than we had anticipated and we think we should not embark upon continued testing until you have seen for yourselves that we have construed correctly your conditions of test. We trust, therefore, that you will both be able to visit us on Monday morning, and remain, Yours truly, FERODO LIMITED Mongley Chief Chemist & Director. | ||
