Sidgreaves - MD}7/E14.9.36 Referring to Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/GWH.{George W. Hancock - Head Chateauroux}21/KW.10.9.36 I was surprised to note from Page 2 that we had turned down the material recommended by S.U. and should be glad if you could ascertain why we took this action as it seems to me rather extraordinary that we should not take the recommendation of the experts whose article we were purchasing.
