To Hd.{Mr Hayward/Mr Huddy} from Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Gry.{Shadwell Grylls} X3807 Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Gry.{Shadwell Grylls}26/KW.19.12.34. N.245 Hoffmann Bearings for 20/25 Bevel Pinion. Further to our telephone conversation, we have discovered from the Order Office that since January 1933 no less than 460 of these bearings have been ordered as replacements. They assure me that these bearings have not been used up on standard production. We thought you would like to know this number, and that a further batch of 25 have just been earmarked for Cricklewood. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Gry.{Shadwell Grylls} | ||
