Dear Sirs, Referring again to your letter of the 13th instant, we have pleasure in informing you that we have despatched the required spring interleaving in Ferodo S.9992 material, which is the appropriate symbol number for this particular variation of Ferodo V.G.91. The parcel has been addressed "For the attention of Mr.Clapham". In the meantime, we are going ahead with the modifications to our own test rig, and hope to have this running soon on the lines indicated in our letter of the 18th instant. In your letter you state that you are supplying bakelised board to Woodheads, to test on their rig, and that you would like them to carry out a similar procedure on plain board and S.9992. We have an adequate supply of both materials, but would like some idea as to the quantity required for this test, and whether we are to send this to your goodselves or direct to Woodheads. No doubt we shall hear from you in due course. Yours faithfully, FERODO LIMITED. J.E Shilton Manager. Technical Department. Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} | ||
