| R.R. 235 e (200 T) (S.F. 103. 25-10-18) G.{Mr Griffiths - Chief Accountant / Mr Gnapp} 2241. Copy X1027 To EH. c. to Bn.{W.O. Bentley / Mr Barrington} BY/JH3/H16. 8.19. RE TOOL KIT FOR 40/50 HP. CHASSIS. With reference to your EH2/LG15.8.19. re Leather Roll, we originally requested the Order Office to procure a canvas roll, but the one supplied was a very cheaply-made article. We asked for a better type of canvas roll and the cost of this was practically the same as the cost of a leather roll, so we finally decided to supply a leather roll. With reference to the other matters mentioned in this memo, we would suggest that these are considered at the next Conference. BY/JH. | ||
