With reference to your Wd {Mr Wood / Mr Whitehead} 3/NJ4.2.21 attached to which is a letter from L.Essenhigh dated the 3rd.inst. and sample of belt. We do not consider that this type of belt would be any use to us. We do-not think that the construction of it demands that it should be lubricated and also that it will certainly be noisy.
