| To BY.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} from Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} X1474 Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}4/LG8.4.29. Mr. Summers, a director of Summers of Shotton is bringing a car to shew us tomorrow afternoon the 9th. He tells me he is producing a normalised steel sheet that has xx superior ductility to anything which has been previously manufactured in this country. If there is anything which we are producing which calls for such a sheet, I am sure he would be very pleased to discuss his process with you.
