| X/721 Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} BY14/H.{Arthur M. Hanbury - Head Complaints} 12. 5. 24. "CELERON" GEARS. I sent the piece of Celeron to Messrs Norths as suggested, but I had in my mind that they had already submitted to us some similar material. Their reply confirms this, and states they could find no advantage in use of materials of this description as compared with Phosphor Bronze. BY.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} By | ||
