| X4469. X4469. X7010. HS{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} To Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} from Sg.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} Copy to Wer. BY.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} re Nitro Hardened Steel. Sg{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD}13/E13.10.30 Referring to Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}1/MJ.2.10.30 I note all that is said on this subject. I certainly think it would be advisable to reduce the number to be ordered and put into production chassis from 50 to 25. In fact if it is economically sound to order a smaller quantity than 25 I would prefer to reduce our risk by so doing. I shall be glad to know in due course what is decided. Sg.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} Sg{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD}/Hl (78) | ||
