| X.1782 To Shipping Office. c. Despatch Stores. c. C.O. c. WoF. c. Hy.{Tom Haldenby - Plant Engineer} EFC3/T10.B.20. RE WESTON BOX TYPE INSTRUMENT. We are sending to the Despatch Stores, one Weston D.C. box type combined ammeter and voltmeter Model 163, No.42 with self-contained shunts. We require this to be despatched to the Weston Electric Company, Audrey House, Ely Place, Holborn, London E.C.1, to whom it is to go for re-adjustment. Will Shipping Office kindly give the necessary instructions and will Despatch Stores kindly arrange to deliver this to us upon return from Messrs. Weston. Will C.O. kindly note that we are most urgently in need of a further instrument which we asked to be ordered in our EFC1/T14.6.20. This is two months ago now and we have heard nothing as to why this instrument has not been delivered. It is absolutely necessary that prompt attention be given to these matters as otherwise it involves delay and loss of time in the Expl. Dept. which we can ill spare at the moment in view of the large amount of experimental work which awaits us. EFC. | ||
