Dashboard Isolation Rubbers. --------------------------- With reference to your notes Mx{John H Maddocks - Chief Proving Officer}3/T.9.7.30 and Mx{John H Maddocks - Chief Proving Officer}20/T.9.7.30, we have to inform you that the Order Office have made arrangements with the Repair Department for them to transfer from their stock sufficient rubbers of the old soft type to piece number F 50729, to keep you going until such time as we can obtain further samples either from the Avon India Rubber Company or from the Dunlop Rubber Company which have received the approval of the Experimental Dept. Both these firms are producing samples for our examination, and we anticipate that the Avon India Rubber Company will let us have their samples by the end of this week. BY/EM | ||
