We regret that we do not manufacture Insulating Material in sheets. We can make in rods of the dimensions you name, viz. 1/2" x 5" long, but as we have up to the present not had any call for same, we have not the moulds and we are therefore unable to submit a sample. For your inspection we are sending you under separate cover a few mouldings of various types showing the manner of work which we undertake. We should be pleased if you will put these to any tests you deem necessary and should then esteem your report in due course. We are enclosing a copy of our catalogue dealing with Birkby's "ELO" Moulded Insulation. We would add that we are specially cut out for production in large quantities. We trust that the samples and booklet will be of interest to you and should esteem your orders and enquiries. Yours faithfully, FLEMING, BIRKEY & GOODALL LTD. (Sgd) W.V. Sampson. | ||
