With reference to G/Gn/CA15/MG. 6. 7. 32., regarding the two Electric Clocks we have had submitted to us for test by Messrs. Smith & Sons we note they charge 45/- each for these whereas we only paid Messrs. Boyce for practically the same clock 36/- each. We shall be glad if you will take up the question of this price with Messrs. Smiths and in the meantime we suggest that you hold the debit in abeyance, until such time as we have given the clocks a test. If these clocks are unsuitable we shall want to return them to Messrs. Smiths. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Wst. | ||
