| X6011 Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} from Wor.{Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager} Copy to Mr Brook. [text is struck through] Wor{Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager}3/T19.2.32. ----------- I send you original note from Mr. Brock re his visit to Coventry - B.T.H.. You will see from the note and the sample herewith, that they have interested him in some self-lubricating material for mouldings. I wonder if you think it worth while making any experiments? I am afraid that we never have had much faith in self-lubricating materials, and I note that R.{Sir Henry Royce} does not seem to think much about them. If you do not think it is worth while, the right thing is to turn it down and not spend any money. Wor.{Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager} | ||
