TEXTOLITE TIMING GEARS.

Attached is an advertisement showing the latest improvement in timing gears. It is imperative that we should have the very latest material available for our experimental tests on fabric gears.

Will you please communicate with the English suppliers and find out whether they know anything of this new development and could supply us with something similar.

Will you also please get in direct communication with the General Electric Co. in America and see if we could get blanks from them in this material.
