X 3862 To Mr. Coverley.from EFC. c. to Bn.{W.O. Bentley / Mr Barrington} c. to Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} c. to Ms. c. to Ds. EFC2/T24.3.20. X.3362 - LIGHTING INSTALLATION AT W.W. Will you kindly note I have received a wire from Mr. Royce to the effect that he requires three further distribution boxes to LeC.1133, arrgt.N.1944 details of which were issued to you under cover of Da{Bernard Day - Chassis Design}/Stt8/EF7.10.19. Will you therefore kindly have these put in hand at the earliest moment. There should be incorporated in these the improvements asked for in E5/G20.10.19, copy of which herewith. Will you kindly note that these boxes must be submitted to me for inspection before being passed on to Mr. Royce. During my last but one visit to Mr. Royce he complained that I had not seen the three articles previously asked for by him to LeC.1133, LeC.1137/8 . He considered that there were some small faults in these. As he has again impressed upon me during my last visit, he wants me to become very critical of electrical pieces produced both by ourselves and by outside people and for this reason he particularly does not want any of these sent to him without my having passed these to the best of my ability.
