Dear Mr Grylls, I have just written to Mr Hardy concerning the two experimental qualities of Servo discs despatched to-day, and thought I might perhaps be excused if I mentioned again to you the suggestion to try the new Ferodo Bonded Asbestos with zinc wire. This lining has truly remarkable properties, and is a step forward with which we are most anxious you should be acquainted. Yours very truly, FERODO LIMITED, JLongley Chief Chemist. | ||
