| Mr. Probert c. Hs. {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} c. RHC. {R. H. Coverley - Production Engineer} X1474 BY16/G.27.6.28. VALVE STEEL. In connection with the valve steels, we are experimenting at the moment with a new type of steel which we are buying from Messrs. Kayser Ellison & Co. We have ordered six bars of steel with the object of obtaining experience with the forging of this material, and at the same time we have arranged for the Steel Manager and Foreman Forger to come over and demonstrate the method of forging, so that you will be able to get all the information you possibly require. We attach hereto copy of a pamphlet, which will be useful to you for reference purposes. BY. {R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} | ||
