| X3527 Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} from ROY.{Sir Henry Royce} ----------- ROY{Sir Henry Royce}2/MG24.4.23 Herewith a sample Oil Guage which has been submitted by the United Brassfounders & Engineers Limited, of Ormskirk, with a view to securing our business under this heading. The sample submitted is put forward with a view to our testing the internal construction of the Gauge, and the makers state that, should bulk business result, the black finish would be considerably improved; in addition to which they would of course engrave the dial in line with our present standard practice, i.e. black background with white figures. The Gauge is submitted by a firm who did considerable useful work for the Company during the War, so we should be glad of your early report. ROY.{Sir Henry Royce} [Signature] SAMPLE GAUGE to accompany this Memo. | ||
