Huckerby} 7th February, 1938. Messrs. Rolls Royce Ltd., Derby. Dear Sirs, Attention of Mr. Matthews. I wrote you a few days ago concerning the R.R.A.C.6. bearing material and have since that date seen the letter which you wrote for the attention of Mr. Howlett, who incidentally is absent from the Works for about a week, and note that in this letter you have covered the points on which I was seeking further information. I will not trouble you therefore to write me regarding any of these points as these may be considered covered by Mr. Howlett's letter, and I would mention that we have arranged to get a supply of material from High Duty Alloys which we shall be casting for the manufacture of bearings before the present week has expired. We will keep in touch with you from time to time regarding what we are doing and to whom we may be supplying bearings, and we presume that we shall be able to call on your services at any time should we get into any difficulty until this business is well established. Yours faithfully, For WELLWORTHY PISTON RINGS LTD., F.{Mr Friese} Blackith Technical Manager. | ||
