| X6135. D/BP Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Wst. BY/Cgh.{W Clough}9/a.{Mr Adams} 30.8.32. RECEIVED RE: 20/25 HP. PATCH FOR OLYMPIA SHOW FOR SMITH & SON. D/BP.23/OG. 26.8.32. The finish of the instrument patch as supplied by Smiths is not yet considered to be satisfactory and a number of criticisms have been received from Sales and are being submitted to Smiths for their attention. Our view is that it would not be advisable to allow Smiths to exhibit one of these patches at the present time. BY/Cgh.{W Clough} | ||
