| X632 Wor{Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager}/SM4/L26713. Re Brinnell Ball Tester. Z.672. Na.{Mr Nadin} 26-7-13. You will remember that you suggested in writing to Mr Johnson re rear brake shoe metal that we might mention the Brinnell Ball tester as a more efficient instrument than any testing machine we possess. Mr Johnson has returned our memo, on the covering sheet of which he remarks :- "What is the price of the ball tester ?. "Of course you will consult Mr R.{Sir Henry Royce} before "deciding. C.J. 24/7/13." We shall be glad if you will reply to Mr Johnson, and if you think fit, take the matter of purchasing one up with Mr Royce. p. Wor.{Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager} | ||
