| V1325- To Roy {Mr H. Royce - Buyer} /AW. c. to Sft {Mr Swift} /Mr. Goodall. Hs {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} /Les.12/JH. 26.2.36. Durometer Tests. Re your Roy {Mr H. Royce - Buyer} /AW23/H. 25.2.36. Although there are slight differences in figures obtained by various instruments, we maintain that our instrument is correct, being a far more up-to-date and expensive instrument than that used by the Leyland & Birmingham Co.Ltd., We strongly disagree to this instrument leaving the works where bad handling or alterations in the setting might be effected.
