| SECRET. Copy. To Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} From Sg.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} c. to RHC.{R. H. Coverley - Production Engineer} ROY.{Sir Henry Royce} Sg.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD}13/E8.4.38. Re. Wraith Material. Referring to RHC.{R. H. Coverley - Production Engineer}3/MJ.5.4.38 it is noted that there appears to be no advantage from a cost point of view in ordering 500 sets of material as compared with 200. It is agreed that the necessary action can be taken to order sets for 200. This with the 100 sets already ordered gives a total of 300. Sg.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} | ||
