The probability is that Mr. Olley's answer from the Independent Lamp & Wire Co. will be that the Tungsten points have not been correctly fitted to the screws and blades, and that if screws and blades are sent along to them, they will fit them properly and in a manner which will give satisfaction. This is also, we note, what the Fansteel Products Co. say. The Tungsten Manufacturing Co. here consider that they have plant which is equal to, if not better than, that of the Fansteel Products Co. in U.S.A. If this is the case, which is perhaps doubtful, there would seem no object in having points done by the Fansteel Products Co. in addition, but perhaps on the whole, it would be better also to give this Co. a set of blades and screws for this purpose. This we will probably arrange. EFC. | ||
