H8 24 JUN 1926 RECEIVED X7690 C. Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} BY/RD6/ML.29.6.26. STAINLESS STEEL ROTOR BLADE. X3309 I regret that I had been misinformed about being able to obtain stainless steel in sheet and as now this is possible commercially I assume the standardisation sheets will not be held up.
