| To O.O. from EFC. X.340Y. EFC3/L.71118. Will you kindly write to Messrs. Brown-Bayleys and enquire if it is possible to obtain stainless steel and in sheet metal and what thickness. In connection with this steel and quickstep steel, we would like them to tell us, if possible, their co-efficience of expansion with temperature, and we would, therefore, further like to know if stainless steel solders well.
