Con'd.{John DeLooze - Company Secretary} make it quite as good as with the Dunlop belt but we consider they make it sufficiently good so that we shall not receive complaints from customers. We are getting into communication with the belt people to see what they can offer us. We recommend that the spring on the tension rod should be adopted without delay. Apart from preventing the noise, the spring retains the tension on the belt so that it requires much less adjusting. HS.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} | ||
