| u.s.a HS{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} To Wcr, from Sg.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} re Lead Bronze Bearings. Sg{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD}16/E5.3.34 Copy to Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} Referring to Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}3/WJ.1.3.34 wherein he reports on his conversation on the/telephone with RHC.{R. H. Coverley - Production Engineer}, in view of the fact that you asked for authority to spend £2,000 on equipment for the above, to which I agreed, I am assuming that you are going ahead with ordering all the necessary equipment that he has asked us to obtain, so that we shall be ready to start manufacturing lead bronze bearings as soon as RHC.{R. H. Coverley - Production Engineer} returns. We shall have spent a considerable sum in sending him out there to obtain the information and will be paying Allison's very well for the information so that I know you are as anxious as I am to take every advantage of it.
