Dear Sirs, We are obliged by your letter of the 19th instant reference Roy{Sir Henry Royce}22/NJ18622 enclosing order No.9316 for 7 lbs. of Mouldensite Brown Moulding Powder. We are interested to learn that you desire this for experimental purposes and beg to assure you that the whole of the Moulding Powder we are now supplying, both black and brown, is actually and wholly produced at our new Works at Darley Dale. We are hoping to despatch the 7 lbs. of Brown Powder now required within the next 7 days and feel sure the results of your experiments will be quite satisfactory. The complete plant which has been installed at the new Works erected at Darley Dale, has been turning out the Moulding Powder for some little time past and the sample lot of black material sent you a few days ago was actually of our own production at Darley Dale and all the material we supply, both to yourselves and other customers will be of our own British manufacture. Yours faithfully, MOULDENSITE COMPANY. (sgd) | ||
