Your Ref. Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Gry.{Shadwell Grylls}4/MH.{M. Huckerby} REF. HWRT/CEG. 25th October 1938. Messrs. Rolls Royce Ltd., Derby. For the Attention of Mr. Grylls. Dear Sirs, Re Metalastik Bonded Wheel Disc. /1001 With reference to your letter dated the 18th October, we have much pleasure in submitting herewith our quotation for Bonding rubber Ring on Wheel Discs supplied by you. In so far as the Chromium plating is concerned, we are of the opinion that in the circumstances in which this bonded Part will be working, there is no risk whatever of its being detrimental to the bond. It will, therefore, be more convenient for you to effect the plating after the Ring has been bonded to the Disc. Yours faithfully, METALASTIK LIMITED. Works' Representative. Enc. | ||
