| Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} from Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/GWH.{George W. Hancock - Head Chateauroux} 1113 Cricklewood 2.6.37. Re: High tension wire. The position of supply of correct high tension wire to Cricklewood has not been cleared up. West has been written to about it and samples sent of their stock, but no reply has been received. They are still having to use wire that was condemned. I understood from West that all the old stock had been returned to the Makers, who admitted the fault. Is it not possible for the Depots to be similarly treated ? Cricklewood wrote again yesterday regarding their supply. Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/GWH.{George W.
