Replying to your memo Wd{Mr Wood/Mr Whitehead}7/N28.7.20 we should like to point out that it is not a question of not being able to utilise the quantity of Benzole required but a question of not being able to obtain Benzole in sufficient quantities or to obtain sufficiently regular deliveries. As a matter of fact we could do with increasing our requirements of Benzole to ~~200~~ 1000 gallons per fortnight. The great thing is we must have regular supplies if the Benzole is going to be of any use to us. EP.{G. Eric Platford - Chief Quality Engineer} | ||
