| Wd.{Mr Wood/Mr Whitehead} c. Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} /3803 BY9-P18.12.23. Will you kindly obtain three pairs of spring plates from America of their standard type, also three pairs from Lemoines to suit the pairs of springs recently delivered. We are very anxious indeed to obtain these plates with the least possible delay, particularly those from Lemoines, which ought to be obtainable in the course of a few days. We would suggest cabling to Paris for Lemoines and to America for the American type. BY.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} | ||
