Rolls-Royce, Ltd., Experimental Department, DERBY. Dear Mr. Robotham, Many thanks for your letter of the 21st February. I have been in touch with Mr. Longley of Ferodo's and he is going to discuss with your representative, who I believe is visiting Ferodo's on Wednesday, as to which brake-drum they will send down to us. We ourselves would much prefer to deposit on steel. We are quite positive that you will find our process will increase the life of the drum enormously. Yours sincerely, FOR DURION LIMITED (V.{VIENNA} H.{Arthur M. Hanbury - Head Complaints} BAKER). | ||
