| - 2 - S. H.{Arthur M. Hanbury - Head Complaints} Grylls, Esq. exactly be described as a stressed joint. We have several solders which we would like to try here and can get some others to try from a firm we know in Switzerland. With regard to our other activities, we have planted the wood from which we planned to make temples. The first temple is skeduled to roll of the line and drive out of our plant under its own power around 10-27 a.m. January 14th. 1960. The first experimental temple in which we had had the happy thought of christening a Director's son, came to grief yesterday on our proving ground - the bumper bar fell off. It was not made in aluminium. All the best, Tom. | ||
