Walker - Patents}1/VL.{V. Lewis / Mr Valentine}31.3.37, we have examined the attached Italian Patent Specifications. From our point of view there are none in which we are sufficiently interested to warrant spending any money on obtaining translations. We are not interested in 337890 because the system shewn is entirely different from anything we are likely to use. We suggest that the Experimental Department should also look over them and say if they are sufficiently interested in any of them to have translations made. E/Lid.{A. J. Lidsey} | ||
