Roy {Sir Henry Royce} /Ms7/DB {Donald Bastow - Suspensions} 18.6.23.

With reference to the Fan Belt supplied by
Messrs. Ramsdens Ltd., of Halifax.

We have tested this belt and find it is not
satisfactory because of the noise caused by the loose
ends of the leather links. Except for the noise
we found the belt entirely satisfactory.
