| 1280 February 8th.1938 Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Std.1/AP. Messrs. Pulp Industries Ltd., 19 New Bridge Street, LONDON E.C.4. For the attention of Mr. E.F.Doutre. Dear Sirs, We have received your letter of the 7th inst. for which we thank you. We are interested primarily in the practicability of your material for the filler cap shown on the enclosed blue print Ex.S.348, and secondarily for certain other applications. Accordingly we would like you to send us samples of similar size and shape mouldings which you may make in order to judge the strength thereof, and also a quotation for supplying these caps in lots of 200 and 1000, together with any tool cost involved. We gather from your leaflet that your material is unaffected by water - this filler cap would be in contact with water. If examination of your samples and figures proves them to be of interest we could arrange a discussion about them later. Yours faithfully, FOR ROLLS-ROYCE LIMITED. | ||
