Hancock - Head Chateauroux}2/KT. 24.1.33. PEREGRINE. Re. CORK LINEN ROCKER COVER JOINT. It would appear that care will have to be taken in storing the Rocker Cover Cork Jointing E.100887. The samples we have had in our stores for two months have shrunk approx. .500" in length. This has it almost too small to make the joint. The makers of the cork jointing should be informed of this so that allowances can be made for shrinking. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/GWH.{George W. Hancock - Head Chateauroux} | ||
