HA/WM 23rd June, 1936 Messrs. Rolls-Royce Ltd., D E R B Y. Dear Sirs, FOR THE ATTENTION OF MR. F.LL. SMITH. Further to the Writer's telephone conversation this morning, with your Mr. Smith, we have sent under separate cover, one 13½" ENGLISH MADE 'HYCO' FACING. Before sending you the Disc for bursting tests, perhaps you will be good enough to take tensile tests from strips taken from this facing which we are sending, and then from these tests you will have some idea as to whether it is of any use carrying on with the bursting tests. We are therefore, until we hear from you, holding up the Disc fitted with the two facings. Yours faithfully, BORG & BECK COMPANY LTD. Manager | ||
