| S/W {Sales / Derby Works} Hs. {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} X3908 C14/C30.9.26. Overheating of Bodies. ----- Thanks for your Hs {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} /RM {William Robotham - Chief Engineer} /LG28.9.26, contents of which we have duly noted. We are raising the point as to whether Ps. is using pure asbestos or the asbestos mixture. Hoopers lined their floor with the latter because they found that flying stones quickly destroyed the former. C. -1. OCT 1926 SMO | ||
