Please write to the British Ulco Co. 201 Salisbury House, London E.C.2 on the following lines:- I believe that it was arranged that you should send us a sample of your bearing metal concerning which you wrote to our Col. Barrington and had a discussion with me in the Laboratory. You will remember that you were unable to leave us a sample of the metal, and though we are at present unable to do a thorough test on this material, we should like to have a sample in order to compare it in several respects with the bearing metals we are using at present. For this purpose it would perhaps be convenient for you to send us a few pounds with any instructions you may think desirable in connection with the melting and casting of same.
