| 8 1110 ? 1371 To RHC. {R. H. Coverley - Production Engineer} from Rm {William Robotham - Chief Engineer} /NRC. {N. R. Chandler} c. Hs. {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} c. By. {R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} Rm {William Robotham - Chief Engineer} /NRC. {N. R. Chandler} 1/MH. {M. Huckerby} 2.3.38. TEST RIG, BORG & BECK CLUTCHES. Mr.Armitage of Borg & Beck and Mr.Emmott Jun. called today, and examined the above rig. Mr.Armitage agreed that they should have one at Leamington. I told him (quite unofficially) that I under-stood the price would probably be £30 to £35, which struck him as including rather high overheads, and they may decide to make one at their own works. I suggest that if we made two together (one for B & B and one for N.) the overhead would be lower, and if we could make a concession and offer to supply one for about £20, they would probably order one. Will you please let me know the net price we can quote, so that I can write B & B. Rm {William Robotham - Chief Engineer} /NRC. {N. R. Chandler} | ||
