| To. RHO/ORR from G/Rb.{R. Bowen} c. to Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} Sft.{Mr Swift} ARM. G/Md. Sp.{Mr Spinney} G/Sm. RECEIVED 23 OCT 1934 X/775 G/Rb.{R. Bowen}S/B/10/W.4433. LID{A. J. Lidsey} Re: Standing Order Numbers - Tools - Experimental Dept. --------------------- Please cancel order number 801 forthwith. A series of order numbers has been taken out to cover the cost of perishable tools and the replacement and maintenance of non-perishable tools (previously booked to the above order number), in order that the cost may be ascertained for each type of product. In the case of the Experimental Dept., however, separate order numbers already exist for all tools definitely allocable to the different types of experimental product and these order numbers will continue in use. The general utility and perishable tools in the Experimental Dept. previously booked to order number 801 will require to be booked in future to one or the other of the following order numbers viz:- 830 Where they refer to chassis work. 840 " " " " aero ". Discretion must be used in the allocation of tools common to both chassis and aero work. G/Rb.{R. Bowen} | ||
