[crossed out] X.1209 RECEIVED 8 MAR 1921 Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} BY REAR SPRINGS AND FITTINGS. RE USE OF WEARING PLATES WIDER THAN THE SPRINGS TO PREVENT SLACK BETWEEN THE SPRING AND THE ROLLER ON THE REAR AXLE. So far as I can see I cannot trace that we have ever received a standardisation sheet for the above. The last that I remember of the job was, that we had everybody's signature except CJ's. As you will appreciate this is an important job and therefore it is urgent that the matter should be settled quickly. Incidentally I have got moving on the job but a sheet should be in existence By | ||
