Dear Mr. Smith, One of our Production Engineers is particularly anxious to visit Dagenham in order to get information with reference to the Tilghmann system of sand-blasting which we understand is in operation in your Factory. We should be very much indebted to you if you could arrange this; at the same time, we should be interested to know whether you have succeeded in effecting any improved production methods on Cyanided hardened gears.
