| X6110 He/Wst.1/AD. November 25th, 1931. The British Thomson-Houston Co.Ltd. Alma St.{Capt. P. R. Strong} Coventry. For the attention of Mr. Vinsen. Dear Sirs, We have received the sample of Fabrolite moulding powder which you so kindly arranged to be sent to us. We are experiencing a little difficulty in moulding test pieces of this material in that we cannot get the mouldings away from the moulds owing to them sticking in position after moulding. Would you be good enough to send us particulars as to what procedure we should adopt in treating these moulds i.e. temperature, pressure, and time of baking etc. in order that we may obtain satisfactory mouldings for test. Yours faithfully, FOR ROLLS-ROYCE LIMITED. | ||
