Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}3/LG7.6.28. We inquired of Hispano people here indirectly about this pump, and they informed us that the pump was a complete failure; they have huge quantities left on their hands and offered to sell the inquirer 1500 of them at a reduced price. This speaks for itself. I conveyed all this information to "CWB" for the Sales conference and I suggest before we do anything further in the matter you get in touch with him. Ps. R | ||
