S/W (Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}). from PN.{Mr Northey}
PN{Mr Northey}6/LH{Mr Haworth}27.9.28.
24.9.28.
In PN{Mr Northey}'s absence I am replying to your Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rml/LG
The paragraph in your original long memo ref. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rml/LG6.9.28. to which PN{Mr Northey} referred is the first paragraph on page 2, where, after describing in the previous paragraph at the foot of page 1, that the springs you use as a standard condition at starting point were, inter alia, cadmium plated, you go on to say that "this is the type of springing we are at present offering to customers."
