Dear Sirs, We wonder whether you could give us any information as to the life of your rubber glands. Do you find that they deteriorate after 18 months or 2 years service? Have you managed to obtain a rubber which is really oil resisting? Will it be possible for you to tell us who supplies you with this detail. We should be very much indebted to you for any information you can give us on this subject. Yours faithfully, FOR ROLLS-ROYCE LIMITED. | ||
