| THE BRITISH THOMSON-HOUSTON COMPANY, LIMITED. Messrs. Rolls-Royce Ltd. RJC/679344 -2- 27th October 1937 DESPATCH We can commence despatch of the rough sawn blanks within 2/3 days of acceptance of your order, and we can commence despatch of the moulded blanks within 7 days of receipt of your metal centres. We would observe that the moulded blanks we offer you will be exactly similar in construction to the moulded blanks we supplied to your valued order No.35740 of February last, with the exception the fabric used will be the fine mesh fabric similar to that used in the compound we employed in the making of the experimental gears and in our Grade 1047 compound. In accordance with your request of the 25th inst., we enclose a small piece of Grade 1047 Fabroil Compound, but this is only 1-7/16" thick. We do not regularly make sheets 2" thick, although, of course, we can make 2" and above to order. It is not, however, practicable to make a sheet less than 48" x 36", and as we have, at the moment, no call for such a sheet, you will appreciate that we do not want to make up one specially to secure a small sample piece, but we will be glad to let you have further pieces 1-7/16" thick if you would like to have them. Assuring you of our thorough co-operation in this matter. Yours faithfully, J.S. RAMSDEN, MANAGER - INDUSTRIAL SALES per:- R.{Sir Henry Royce} J.{Mr Johnson W.M.} Chapman RJC/BM ENCL: | ||
