| To Bn.{W.O. Bentley / Mr Barrington} from BJ. BJ7/SS.{S. Smith}12.19. X.802.-STANDARDISATION SHEET FOR GLOVERS' WIRES. Many thanks for your clear explanation of this matter. You have no doubt satisfied yourself that the cable is of the size and quality necessary for the job. N. seemed rather disappointed at the abnormal size of the cable. Can you let me know please whether any special size was specified at the time the original order was placed, or was it left to Glovers to deliver whatever size they considered fit? BJ. | ||
