| 802 To Yl. from Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Gry.{Shadwell Grylls} Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Gry.{Shadwell Grylls}2/MH.{M. Huckerby}29.11.38. It is regrettable that we should have attempted to get Gleasons to credit us with the scored pair of gears which we returned, and which were only labelled faulty.from a customer's point of view. We have written them a letter, copy of which we send you, and hope that we shall not be put in this position again owing to a similar error.
