Rolls Royce Ltd., DERBY. Dear Mr. West, FABROLITE POWDER I have to thank you for your letter dated 17th November, and note that you have not yet received the sample of our moulding powder which we use on our high tension mouldings. I regret very much indeed that you did not receive this sample, and I have been in touch with our Rugby Works this morning, who inform me that they had difficulty in matching your colour. However, I have now told them to despatch to you 6 lbs. of our powder for making high tension mouldings, in our standard colour, as I am sure you are only interested at the moment in the electrical characteristics of our compound. This sample is being despatched to you for your personal attention today. I am attaching hereto a blue print of Drg. SK.C. 7440, showing the small ferrule which we supply with our SC.12-7C magnetos, which I hope is the drawing you require. Yours faithfully, WWV/JGB | ||
