(9) To _________ Order No. WD {Mr Wood / Mr Whitehead} 92 (contd) Customer's No. _________ The "Super Glover" we consider to be a good grade of cable and reasonably as good as the "Maconite". The surfaces however of both "Slovente" and "Super Glover" were rough as compared with "Maconite" which makes them difficult to draw through the tubes and to fit ferrules etc. If the price of the "Super Glover" could be made competitive it might be worth while considering production supplies along with "Maconite" and in any case as a second string. Under all considerations therefore we are using as standard a really first class article. Signed H.E.W. This Sheet must be filed on completion of the work. | ||
