| - 2 - J.{Mr Johnson W.M.} Howlett, Esq., Messrs. Wellworthy Piston Rings Ltd. 5th November 1938 of co-operation at your end, you personally are given a very wrong impression of what is happening here. Rolls Royce too, are misinformed, and because of it impetuously suggest that only they can produce a satisfactory alloy, which is very wrong of them. I quite appreciate the position in regard to the development of these bearings, and regret you could not get either myself or Mr. Robinson on the telephone yesterday, although we were here all day, because I do want you to inform me at once of any possibility of delay in the future. Yours sincerely, H.G. Herrington. | ||
