Cox - Advertising Manager}2/KW.24.1.34., we are still waiting for road tests to be completed before we can issue a standardisation sheet for these instruments. We appreciate the urgency of these instruments but we can assure/you that everything is being done to urge through the road tests of these instruments as quickly as possible. Naturally some little time must elapse before we can say whether these instruments are fit to be standardised, as a result of our road tests. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Wst, | ||
