For the attention of Mr. W. A.{Mr Adams} Robotham. Dear Sirs, Thank you for your letter of the 12th of May advising the despatch of a repaired fan which has been received this afternoon. This will, as you say, enable us to keep going until the new fan is ready. As regards your query concerning the ideal angle for an adjustable diameter pulley, this has been passed on to our Mr. Shilton to deal with, who will doubtless give the matter his immediate attention. It may interest you to know that we have made certain modifications to our rig, which will enable us to observe energy absorptions at speeds infinitely variable up to 4,500 R.P.M. If you care to avail yourselves of this apparatus it is at your disposal. Yours truly, FERODO LIMITED Mongley. Director. | ||
