| GENERAL PLASTICS INCORPORATED NORTH TONAWANDA, N.Y. SHEET NO. 2 Rolls-Royce Ltd. Attention: Mr. A.{Mr Adams} K.{Mr Kilner} Martindale 7/23/37 In general, we would say that the coefficient of friction would be higher when China Wood Oil is added as this will make the resultant product softer and give the brake a chance to take a hold better. After baking the lining is then finished in the usual manner. For your information the 1606 sells for 26¢ lb. in single drum lots of 450 lbs., 25¢ lb. in 10 drum lots and 24¢ lb. in 30,000 lb. or carload lots. These prices are F.O.B. North Tonawanda, N. Y. We trust that you will find this resin to be of interest and look forward to receiving your comments. Very truly yours, GENERAL PLASTICS, INC. James W. Ferguson James W.
