After discussing various difficulties with Mr. Evans, the representative of the British Tyre & Rubber Co, Leyland, it was decided that we should supply the steel parts to be moulded into the rubbers. This will enable our Inspection Dept. to ensure that the steel parts are correct to the drawing, having no sharp edges in contact with the rubber. The rubbers affected are F.60398/9 and F.60352. For rubber F.60399 will you please arrange for both washers to be to F.60402, deleting washer F.60401. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Les.{Ivan A. Leslie} | ||
