| BP. c. to Hs {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} c. to Mr. Shelton. COPY. X.3612 BY9/H30.7.20. E G JUL 31 1920 X.3523. CHASSIS - THERMOSTAT - WATER CONNECTIONS. RECEIVED X 3612 Quite a month ago we were informed by cable that the Sylphon Tubes had been despatched by SS. {S. Smith} "West Celeron". Will you kindly get into touch with the Shipping People, and find out whether the ship in question has arrived, and if so, it is of the utmost importance that a man should be sent to get the parts in question through the customs. No doubt the invoice question will arise again, if it does, we will cable for the cost of same from the States, but in any case, we should quote a figure which can be corrected later, if this will assist in releasing the parts earlier.
