| To ROY.{Sir Henry Royce} from Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}3/LG8.3.26. PRICES OIL. MOTERINE 'C' We recommend you advise Messrs. Price that it is our policy to have a specification for all the materials we use. As Prices will not give us a specification of their oil, it may interest them if we give them a specification. We think the policy of the oil people to imagine they have some wonderful secret is all nonsense. Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} | ||
