CWW/MO. 9th April, 1935. - Wyman, Esq., Messrs. Rolls-Royce, Ltd., Experimental Department, Derby. Dear Mr. Wyman, Reverting to your visit here the other day, as you will see from the enclosed letter and samples, we have interviewed Messrs. Gliksten with reference to supplying the Balsam-Wool with a fibre backing. You will see from their letter that to get what we want it would mean ordering 25,000 square feet and the price, of course, is rather prohibitive. Please do not trouble to return Gliksten's letter to us as we have kept a copy. Yours faithfully, for PARK WARD & CO. LTD. [Signature] DIRECTOR. Encls. | ||
