Dear Sirs, For the attention of Mr. N. R.{Sir Henry Royce} Chandler. We thank you for your letter of the 28th of August giving the results of the bursting tests on various 13-1/2" clutch facings carried out in this factory on June 3rd and August 27th. First, there is a slight correction to be made to the description of the fifth item. This in your letter you describe as "S.6777 - cloth oblique cut - original impregnation" but this should actually read "S.6777 - improved chevron wound." We are pleased to note that you approve of the bursting resistance of the S.6777 - cloth oblique. This quality has been given a new number and will be referred to in future correspondence as S.7409. We are putting in hand, as you request, 12 facings without rivet holes, and, when these are ready for despatch, will quote you for all 3 sizes, namely, 10", 11" and 13-1/2". Yours faithfully, FERODO LIMITED Chief Chemist & Director. | ||
