Roy.{Sir Henry Royce} - from Sft.{Mr Swift} de Smith 1110 Sft.{Mr Swift}1/EMG.30.10.36. BORG AND BECK CLUTCHES. We have been looking into the points raised in memo' Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Smth.4/KW.17.10.36, and we have given definite instructions that on no account must Clutches be used unless they conform to the drawing, and that any which are above the limits allowed must be returned to the makers. We take it, of course, that you are taking up very strongly with the suppliers, in order that they should keep up to the standard of the previous accurate product supplied. Sft.{Mr Swift} | ||
