HS{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} 2
R1/G9/6/21.

With reference to your memo HS{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}1/LG3/6/21, the confusion has been that they are both dynamometers, one R.W. dynamometer and the other Test Plate dynamometer. Let us say in future, R.W. HP. and T.P. HP. dropping the word dynamometer as much as possible.
