Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/JBD{John B. Dixon - Fuel Systems}3/M DATE. 16th February, 1937 Ediphoned. Messrs. Rolls-Royce, Ltd., DERBY. Dear Sirs, We thank you for your letter of the 10th instant on the subject of "Gaco" diaphragms. As the production of these diaphragms is still in the experimental stage, our Works have not yet produced the samples you require, but we have pleasure in sending herewith for your inspection, approximately 1 sq. ft. of diaphragm material, being fabric impregnated on both sides with "Gaco". This sample is from the first supply we have received from our Works, and you will note that the surface is not perfectly uniform, owing to the fact that we are not yet fully experienced in this production. We are endeavouring to improve this and will be glad to submit better specimens in due course. Thanking you, We are, Yours faithfully, GEORGE ANGUS & CO. LTD. A Procter for H.E.BECK OIL SEAL DEPT.
