| To G/Gn/CA. from Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}15/KW27.12.33. Referring to G/Gn/CA.9/DN.23.12.33, these clocks were sent to me personally by Mr. Nicholls of the Sales Dept. of Smiths. Last time I bought a clock from this Company they sent the invoice to me personally, as they made a special discount. Possibly therefore passing the invoice through the firm is an error which they will rectify in due course. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} | ||
