Trot Salt - Carburation}3/MH.{M. Huckerby} 8th November, 1938. File Messrs. Rolls Royce Ltd., Experimental Dept., Derby. Dear Sirs, We beg to acknowledge receipt of your letter dated the 4th inst., addressed to Mr. Walden, who is unfortunately away ill at the moment. We are making arrangements to mix surplus material from one of the previous batches which were low in Magnesium and Copper, to bring this present batch of material nearer to specification, so that after the first melt we shall have a Magnesium content to specification. Yours faithfully, For WELLWORTHY PISTON RINGS LTD., F Blackith Technical Manager. | ||
