Dear Mr. Leslie, Many thanks for your letter of the 9th instant. We are, as you will appreciate, very anxious to get this job onto pressure die castings, and your information about R.R.53.C. is extremely interesting; particularly in view of the fact that you suggest this metal will enable us to do away with bushes. We are, therefore, taking the matter up with the Birmingham Aluminium Company on these lines, as we are anxious to get dies made at the earliest possible moment. Yours sincerely, Gordon Armstrong | ||
