| C O P Y. Hs. {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} from My/JW. My/JW/N3/139/B 6.1.23. Re. Standardisation Sheet X.4419. ROAD SPRINGS MADE BY FIRTHS IN PLACE OF WOODHEADS. We return herewith copy of above standardisation sheet, but regret to say that we are in no position to supply the required cost figures, owing to the fact that Firths have not yet given us any figures for the Springs they will supply. Roy {Sir Henry Royce} , however, is of the opinion that there will not be any saving in cost to us owing to this change. My/JW. | ||
