Mr Nadin informed the Committee that the length required on our chassis was 42 1/4", that the belts were ordered 44", and were delivered on an average 45 1/4". The Committee agreed that we should alter our specification to the correct length, viz. 42 1/4". The Committee agreed that 2s. 6d. should be paid for this suggestion. | ||
