Dear Sirs, Some time ago when on a visit to our Works you were good enough to promise to send us a sample of your Bakelite distributor moulding powder. As we are particularly interested in bakelite moulding powders of non-tracking properties, such as we understand is possessed by your powder, we should be glad if you will kindly send us a small quantity to try out on our mouldings. Could you also send us along a drawing of the small ferrule which you supply with SC.12-7C magneto for soldering to the magneto ends of the H.T. cables. Thanking you in anticipation. Yours faithfully, FOR ROLLS-ROYCE LIMITED. | ||
