| Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Wst. from E/Lid.{A. J. Lidsey} r6135. E/Lid.{A. J. Lidsey}2/HP.19.9.34. c. By/RD. WST Instruments. When Sg.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} was up here last week he mentioned the fact that Sales thought that the type of figuring which we use on our instrument dials was plain and had no character. He brought with him a sketch of a clock dial with an improved type of figuring whrch he would like us to use. We should be glad if you will arrange to have the instruments on the new type patches, which you are having produced by Smith's/with this type of figuring. printed It applies of course to all the instruments. We are attaching blueprint herewith showing the type of figuring Sg.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} likes. E.Lid.{A. J. Lidsey} | ||
