Dear Sirs: EXPERIMENTAL CLUTCH PLATE. We appreciate your desire to test the plates we are now preparing, and regret the delay. Unfortunately, the writer was misinformed in regard to the position of the dies. They are all made from forgings and have taken much longer to prepare than estimated. We are now machining them in our Tool Room and fully expect to have them ready by Tuesday, - it will not take more than an hour to line the plates. We, therefore, confidently expect to have the 40/50 plates ready by Wednesday and will wire you immediately they are available. Yours faithfully, FERODO LIMITED Chief Engineer. OUR FOREIGN FACTORIES.
