Hanbury - Head Complaints} Spurrier, Esq., Jr.{Mr James Royce}, Leyland Motors Limited, LEYLAND. Lancs. Dear Mr. Spurrier, Thank you very much for the information with regard to the production of castings in your Foundry. This is exactly what I wanted to know. I presume that it does not include the production of scrap. It seems to be accepted that on small production aluminium castings scrap of 10% is not abnormal. Yours sincerely, | ||
