| X4008 Extract from Mr. Minchin's letter dated 20.3.28. (X.8780) It certainly sounds as if you have got the auto switch good now and I wonder if I shall have one on the 20. I think you and Mr. Hives will be able to dissuade Mr. Royce from the green light as I think the alternate scheme is obviously the better. I expect I shall see Mr. Royce in the South and if he asks me my opinion I will certainly tell him that I think the auto-switch without any light is the better thing. | ||
