Dear Sirs,

We have today received your note of the 19th of October advising the despatch of the further fan. We will get this running again with the Ferogrip belt, which so far has run about 25 hours. When the Ferogrip belt gives out we will make that the opportunity of reporting in full all our test results to date.

Yours truly,

FERODO LIMITED
