| To RDY. from Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rn.{Mr Robinson} X90386 Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}3/LG7.5.29. We are sending into the Stores for despatch to Messrs. Hobson - 3 double air lines and 2 tank units to KS.180. The tank units are no further use to us because the design of the tank has now been altered and they are therefore obsolete. The double air lines are also obsolete because we are now fitting triple air lines. Possibly however Messrs. Hobson will credit us with something for this material. To replace this obsolete material, will you please order 3 tank units to KS.180 in the position indicated on LF.1220 with which we have supplied them. They have already supplied us with 3 tank units to this specification. The 3 we are now offering, complete conversion of the gauges obtained in our Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rn{Mr Robinson}2/LG23.11.28. Will you please order also 3 triple air lines for KS.180.P. and 3 hand pumps. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rn.{Mr Robinson} | ||
