| V1325- To Roy{Sir Henry Royce}/AW. c. to Sft{Mr Swift}/Mr. Goodall. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Les.12/JH. 26.2.36. Durometer Tests. Re your Roy{Sir Henry Royce}/AW23/H.{Arthur M. Hanbury - Head Complaints} 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.
