ROY{Sir Henry Royce}/GEA.6/EB.22.6.32.

Messrs. Peter Stubs Limited of WARRINGTON, have sent us a pair of 6" light weight pattern Combination Pliers, which they suggest can be used in place of the 5" Cutting Pliers we use.

The latter costs us 14s/6d. per dozen pairs, whereas, Stubs' Pliers would be, in :-

rough finish ... 7s/10d. per dozen pairs.
smooth finish ... 8s/5d. " " "
best finish ... 8s/9d. " " "
knurled finish ... 10s/0d. " " "

Will you kindly advise if the Pliers offered, are acceptable, in which case, there would be quite a considerable saving.
