Will you please arrange to have the alum. steering control quadrant which we hand you herewith anodised at Hucknall. The part has already been cleaned with powdered lime and should not be cleaned in the degreasing plant, as there is a risk that the enamel might be damaged. The object of the anodising is to prevent discolouration of the engraving due to corrosion of the alum. Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/FJH.{Fred J. Hardy - Chief Dev. Engineer} | ||
