Dear Sirs, Will you kindly send us particulars of small size steel flexible ropes, of say .05" to .08" diameter, as we have in mind the possible application to carburetter and other controls, also if pear-shaped or circular thimbles, such as are used for slings, are available in these small sizes, we would be glad to have particulars. Thanking you in anticipation. Yours faithfully, FOR ROLLS-ROYCE LTD. | ||
