Dalmaine Esq., The British Belting & Asbestos Ltd., 59 Southwark Street, London. S.E.1. Dear Mr.Dalmaine, You will remember that when you were over here we discussed the question of rivets scoring the brake drums, and at the time I remember you saying that some materials were very much better in this respect than others. We should be glad to know what you consider to be the best rivet from the point of view of scoring. Yours sincerely, | ||
