| Technical Dept. Rolls Royce Ltd Derby. 6010. "Seven Trees" Marshal's Drive Tel. 829.... St.{Capt. P. R. Strong} Albans Dear Sirs Sept. 7. 31. I beg to ask if you may be interested in a new Rubber Tube fastener - patented. It occurs to me it would serve a good purpose for Electric Wire Harness Covering — oil pipes & Brake Cables. etc. I enclose a sample to give an idea of the product. It can be made in any length parallell sections — in Rounds, Hexs & Rectangular. Any thickness rubber over diameter, and should prove invaluable for jobs where fitment is an advantage, after assembly. The new rubber fastener is now made with the shoulder eliminated. I shall be pleased to make up any section you may desire to test. Yours faithfully Sydney Ives | ||
