| X 7775 Ho RECEIVED NOV 8 1922 EP.{G. Eric Platford - Chief Quality Engineer} } From BJ. Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} } BJ15/H7.11.22. As it had been definitely arranged at the Works Conference that the Works Committee should come and see us on the afternoon of Monday, 6th. November, we were naturally expecting to hear from the Works Committee at what time it would arrive. I am sorry to hear that Mr. Wormald has been ill, and presume, therefore, that nothing definite has been arranged in regard to standardisation sheets, and therefore that there is nothing for the Works Committee to report. In future when a definite appointment has been made by the Works officials to meet us, and if Mr. Wormald is unable to attend to the matter, will you kindly arrange for some other responsible officials at the Works to inform us that the appointment has had to be cancelled? I had put off three appointments to keep myself free for Monday afternoon and I know Mr. Cowen had put off other appointments. We are very busy in London during the Show. BJ. [Handwritten note] Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} Only one original received. We have therefore copied for your information. EP{G. Eric Platford - Chief Quality Engineer} | ||
