JNL/KM File A.{Mr Adams} F.{Mr Friese} Martindale Esq., Messrs. Rolls Royce Ltd., DERBY. Dear Mr. Martindale, Thank you for your letter of October 5th, which does at last give us a sign of satisfactory progress. We will push ahead with this 3/8" and 5/16" material, though, as you know, we have not hitherto stocked. The 3/8" is already in course of manufacture and today we have started the 5/16". The whole should be ready within 10 days. Yours truly, FERODO LIMITED pp. J.{Mr Johnson W.M.} N. Longley KM. Chief Chemist & Director. | ||
