| X3035. To Roy.{Sir Henry Royce} From Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Yng. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Yng.5/MJ.25.9.33. Will you please order for use on the Test beds - 10 lbs. of Mercury. We have sent the container to the Stores, this being returnable. The reason so many orders for Mercury have been sent through lately is due to the fact that a number of 'U' tubes have been made up for use with water venturis for use on beds, hangars, and rigs.
