| +4038 Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rnl/LG. 24th. April 1929. Messrs. H.M.Hobson Ltd., 47-55 Acton Vale, London W.3. Dear Sirs, For the attention of Major Searight. K.S. GAUGE FOR INDIA. We have received the gauge which we ordered in our Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}1/LG26.3.29. We believe the Order Office may have passed an order for K.S.162 without specifying that it should be triple air line. Any order which has come to hand for KS.162 refers to this gauge. Also, any further orders you receive to KS.162 should be referred to us as we anticipate that we shall want to replace them with the triple air line. Yours faithfully, | ||
