| Mr. Walker Pattern Shop. from Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} X4630 Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}1/LG20.1.26. CHRONOGRAPH. Will you please supply a cover for this instrument to fit completely over the base as indicated in the sketch. We should like this cover to be as light as possible with ends of a somewhat heavier section fitted with handles (O/No. 735). We will carry out the actual attachment of the cover to the Chronograph. As we are in urgent need of this, we should be obliged if you could let us have it as soon as possible, and oblige. We suggest that precautions are taken to prevent damage to the Chronograph while it is in the Pattern Shop as it is a delicate and expensive instrument. Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} | ||
