Cannot get good ones, - metal too hard (breaking our drills,) Fitters in the Works are now standing for them. Hs. {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} suggests making 100 of them in gunmetal, until we can get Wallworks going. No decision come to re this although the meeting seemed to think it was a good suggestion.
