We are arranging to have prices worked out on Belts to your Drawings EW.1775 and E.89343. The construction will be identical to that of the American Goodyear belt. We are now in production on Fan Belts in the Wolverhampton factory. Samples of our product will be submitted to you, although they will not be of the exact size that you require. Arrangements will be made later to secure equipment necessary for production of your belts so that samples for your laboratory test can be provided.
