re. Katalite.

With reference to your BJ/Py11/D10.3.24, covering memo on the above from Springfield, Oy1/E22724. I quite agree that during my last visit to America I went into this matter of Katalite, which Mr. Olley strongly recommended for our consideration.

I was able to interview some people at New York, from whom I obtained a considerable amount of information, all of which I passed on to Hs. {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} on my return to Derby.

Will Hs. {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} please reply further to BJ/Py11/D10.3.24.
