Dear Sirs, The writer has now had the opportunity of giving close consideration to the various points raised in your letter of the 28th, we are still proceeding with several experiments working chiefly with a view to incorporating lead alloy having a higher melting point than the pure metal itself. We hope to have some concrete results available in about 10 days time. The writer would suggest a personal discussion on the matter when considered to be opportune. Yours faithfully, BRITISH BELTING & ASBESTOS LTD [Signature] | ||
