| EFC. X 6011 BY/RD3/W.8-4-30. Re :- Bakelaque. We have now received a further sample of Bakelaque which purports to represent exactly what we should receive for use on production. This is certainly an improvement over the Bakelaque supplied and which we rejected in accordance with your report EFC3/AD.28-2-30. Will you please test this further sample and let us know whether its insulation properties are up to the requirements for production work. Sample attached herewith. BY/RD. | ||
