| yslw, Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} BY3/J.3.10.30. (88) 430 Re Fabric Couplings. Referring to your memo Sgl1/E.1.10.30, we have not tried the 'Hermetic' Coupling Disc, but are sending a drawing of our present coupling to the Universal Ball Bearing Repair and Manufacturing Co. asking them if they have a coupling of the same dimensions, and inviting them to come and discuss the matter with us at the Works. We had heard of the "Hermetic" Coupling, but we were given to understand they were produced by a firm in Birmingham, but we have been unable to trace them and we thank you for giving us the correct address.
