Swindell}5/KW.14.11.35, we asked you to supply 1 Oilskin Coat for the use of the labourer of this Test House, and so far we have seen nothing of this coat. We do a considerable amount of Endurance running on this bed and the petrol has to be brought in barrels from the other side of the Works, so that we should appreciate your immediate attention to this item. In our memo. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Mths.{Reg Matthews}15/KW.12.11.35, we asked you to arrange to have the doors re-hung and the roof repaired. During the last week or two in which there has been a considerable amount of wet weather, anything left on the bench has rusted over during the night. We should therefore like this item also attending to as soon as possible. HS{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/R.Matthews. | ||
