WATER PUMP BUSHES & PADS FOR WRAITH C. Further to our memo. Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Std.11/JH.14.12.38. we have received quotations from Messrs. Ferodo Ltd., for two alternative schemes which we put before them, i.e., moulding the bushes, or supplying the material for us to machine them in the Works. In the limited quantities supplied however, there does not appear to be any material saving in adopting either of the above methods, and we suggest therefore, that the parts be bought complete from Messrs. Ferodo Ltd. as per their letter SALES/TGP/GGP of the 28th. ult. Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Ed.{J. L. Edwards} | ||
