Olley has cabled us that
Messrs Builder's Iron Foundry are alternative suppliers
of barrel making equipment to Pratt & Whitney's.

There is no particular difference
in price but deliveries might be better in the half inch
size.

We understand that they have
already shipped some machines from America on the behalf
of the Climax Rock Drilling and Engineering Works Ltd.,

When these come to hand they
might be worth inspecting.

We attach a copy of their
'catalogue.
