| X4038 G/WFH. from Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rn.{Mr Robinson} Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rn{Mr Robinson}2/T16.1.29. Your G/WFH/CA32/ES8.1.29 We have carefully gone into the matter of these gauges and have found one 20 H.P. gauge to KS.155. we therefore agree to payment being made for this gauge. We have also found item 3 mentioned in your memo, i.e. P.B. Dash Unit and Armoured Air Line, so that this can also be paid for. The second gauge to KS.155 or F.55744 we can in no way account for, and have therefore written to Major Searight of Claudel Hobson's asking him to drop this demand for payment as we cannot trace that we ever officially asked for this gauge. We hope this matter is now cleared up. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rn.{Mr Robinson} | ||
