S. W. Grylls Esq., Messrs Rolls-Royce Ltd., Derby. Dear Mr Grylls, We thank you for your letter of October 19th, enquiring for spring interleaving - 24-ft. x 2-1/4" wide. Actually we ceased to manufacture this product some years ago, but we are still in a position to make it, although we cannot give you the standard black finish that we used to have. If you will regard this as an experimental order for performance only and not for appearance, we shall be pleased to forward the material you require as soon as we can make it. We would, however, point out that at the moment we are only able to give you material a little more than 2-1/8" wide, but trust that this will suffice for your test. With regard to your postscript concerning VM.20 discs to Part No.G.81324, we urged these and they were sent to you by passenger train the day your letter was received. Yours very truly, J Morley Chief Chemist, FERODO LIMITED. | ||
