We would suggest supplying our Link 7738 material to meet the specification of pure graphite mentioned in the first paragraph of your letter of the 19th January, reference Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/AFM.{Anthony F. Martindale}6/MH.{M. Huckerby} ? 1029 We think you will find this material sufficiently pure to meet the application which you have in mind, and would inform you that for four of these blocks the price would be 7s.6d. each. Referring to the third paragraph of your letter, we can supply four pieces in our Link 3114 material - similar to that used for thrust blocks - at the same price (7s.6d. each). This figure, in both cases, would be exclusive of drilling which we understand you wish to undertake yourselves. We trust this information covers that which you require. Yours faithfully, THE MORGAN CRUCIBLE COMPANY LIMITED per: | ||
