| Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Mr. Leslie. cc Sft{Mr Swift}/Mr. Goodall. Roy{Sir Henry Royce}/AW23/H.{Arthur M. Hanbury - Head Complaints} 25th February 1936. Our Durometer readings differ from those of The Leyland & Birmingham Rubber Co.Ltds., This however only exists on Buffers E.87033/4. We have already received three different Samples, and whilst they consider their Durometer readings are correct, Inspection readings obtained here differ. It is therefore suggested that our Machine be forwarded to the Leyland & B'ham Rubber Co so that it may be calibrated to agree with theirs. Do you agree to this procedure? Roy{Sir Henry Royce} | ||
