With reference to Mr Royce's sheet of the 11th inst, below I give extract of my memo to Mr Johnson on this matter which I shall be glad if you can forward to Mr Royce as it would appear from his remarks that he has been misinformed. "With reference to the attached memo re above taking last months output only 33% of the side shafts were classified as Very good so that under present conditions our output would have to be reduced 66% if all side shafts are to be "very good ones". E.P. Handwritten notes in red ink: File Copy. This was originally sent to Mr R by WJ. This sheet must be filed with the correspondence to which it refers. | ||
