With reference to G/Gn/CA.7/JM.{Mr Morley}14.11.33. (returned herewith) the chromium plating and special polishing of the handles was done at our request, as the result of criticisms by Sales of the appearance of the pump. We have asked them to carry out further modifications to the pump and submit a sample, it is possible therefore that these modifications may be incorporated in the balance of the 50 pumps still to be delivered. In the meantime, we agreed to accept the 25 chromium plated pumps. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Lid.{A. J. Lidsey} | ||
