| R.R. 235A (100H) (PP351. 2.1.13) G 4088 AW/SM1/021213. Re POLDI VALVE SPRINGS - X. 74/A. Mr. Nadin. 21/2/13. In reply to yours N31/B20213 attached, the Order Office reported to us that these springs were in the Stores on 3/2/13. This however, was not the case, as the springs were not received by the Stores until 11/2/13. It now appears that our Inspector condemned the springs about the following day, as not being up to specification and consequently no experiments have been performed on them. The springs in question have not yet been returned to the makers. We understand that your Mr. Rudd has the matter in hand. p. A. {Mr Adams} Wormald. [Watermark: DICKINSON 18 MADE AT CROXLEY] | ||
