| -2- Ha./MJ.16.11.31.Cont'd.{John DeLooze - Company Secretary} I am expecting that Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} will go out to U.S.A. immediately after Christmas. We are trying to get it established that the Expl. Dept. can send someone out out every year in order to pick up as much as possible, and we should like to know whether the dynamic balancing machine which I saw at Cadillacs is being produced by any manufacturer. We would also like to know how many of the parts on cars are balanced on this machine and what sort of limits do they work to. If the General Motors balancer is not available could you let us know of another one which is considered to be the best?. Yours faithfully, | ||
