| X6040 Roy.{Sir Henry Royce} from EFC. EFC2/AD7.10.30. With further reference to our EFC4/AD30.9.30 and your Roy{Sir Henry Royce}/GEA2/EB3.10.30, we on our part do not understand the remarks of the Macintosh Cable Co. contained in your note referred to. We have opened the varnish and find it to be black. What we require is clear cellulose finishing varnish which does not require any stove heating. Will you please again approach them with a view to obtaining such a varnish. Unable to obtain EFC. | ||
