| To Hs {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} from My/Rb. {R. Bowen} My/Rb. {R. Bowen} 29/FEB/55/BJ.7.4.27 Re: Drilling Jig for Firths o {Mr Oldham} /55174. We are informed that the above jig complete with bushes, bush drivers and 2 drills was sent into stores by the Experimental Dept. and despatched to Firths on November 25/26. The order number taken out for making the same has been in considerable use by numerous Departments - but principally Tool Room - since the above date. Will you kindly inform us what further parts have been made, or are being made, to this order number. We may add that the parts despatched to Firths last November, have not been invoiced to them, the order number not having been closed. My/Rb. {R. Bowen} | ||
