EXPERIMENTAL DEPT.

We suggest you send round a memo. on the following lines to the Superintendents and Foremen of the various Departments.

"On and after Monday 12th.Mar. no person will be allowed inside the Experimental Dept. territory unless they have a signed permit. No exceptions whatever can be made to this rule.
All communications to the Experimental Dept. can be carried out on the telephone.
All correspondence, blue-prints and light materials should be delivered at the window adjoining the Experimental Office door. The road to this is up the passage between the Works and the Technical Offices, leading to the Laboratory. At the end of the passage the window is to the right-hand.
All heavy materials on a Truck, should be delivered to the Watchman on the main gate of the Experimental Dept. which is between No.2 Shop and the Exper Electrical Dept.
The Watchman has been instructed that he cannot, on any account, pass anyone unless they have a proper authorised instruction."

Hs. {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}
