| 1020a Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} from Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}4/R.18.11.38. We had a meeting with High Duty Alloys and Wellworthys last week. This meeting was long overdue, but we could not get them together before. I think matters are now straightened out so that they should at least be able to produce bearings reliably. Wellworthys have circulated some astonishing information as you will see from the attached copy of a note from Blackith which contains the maximum number of complete falsehoods. However, we are making sure that nothing but reliable information is circulated in the future. Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} | ||
