| To Hy.{Tom Haldenby - Plant Engineer} from EFC. c. to O.O. EFC1/T8.9.20. X 3035 RE LEATHER APRON FOR WORK WITH BATTERIES. Would you kindly instruct the Order Office to order up for the use of one of my assistants in the Elec. Expl. Laboratory, who is dealing very largely with filling and emptying batteries with acid, with a leather apron. We think this is quite a reasonable request on his part as it is quite impossible, even with great care, to avoid getting acid on one's overalls and clothes. EFC. | ||
