| X4549 Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} from BY.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} BY1-P16.8.22. GOSHAWK 11. JOINTING MATERIALS. We supplied you with some actual joints made in "Dexine" which was intended to be used as a substitute for Dermatine. It was considered that this material was more robust than Dermatine and was likely to give better service. Are you able to give us any information on the subject, as the O.O. are anxious not to order any Dermatine if the Dexine is likely to be a better material. BY.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} [Stamp] RECEIVED AUG 16 1922 HS{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} [Signature] BY | ||
