Rolls-Royce Ltd., Derby. - For the attention of F.J.Hardy Esq. - Dear Sirs, With further reference to your letter of the 17th March, addressed for the attention of Mr.Longley, as requested we have returned to you four of the rejected discs, marked for the attention of Mr.Hardy as required. As pointed out by Mr.Longley when machining fabric linings it is not possible to work to the very fine limits obtainable with metals, and we feel sure upon further inspection you will find the linings quite satisfactory. Yours faithfully, FERODO LIMITED. [Signature] Sales Department. | ||
