GOSHAWK 11. CLUTCH. ~~X5079~~

Will you please write to Messrs. Ferodo and remind them that their Chief Engineer, Mr. Field, who came over to see us in connection with the fabrics used on Goshawk 11. Clutch, promised he would send us samples of different kinds of fabric to test. You might inform them that we are not satisfied with the results we are obtaining with the present material and we should be very pleased if they would hurry along any alternative material they have to offer.
