| R.R. 199 (250T) (S.D.676 19-7-17) MP 180865 BY1-P1.5.23. contd. - 2 - Would you kindly get CJ. to reconsider this question and wire us your conclusions, as we feel that to continue with the smaller pitch bevel is unquestionably to be throwing large sums of money away week by week from which we get absolutely no return and the only way of stopping this waste, and at the same time improving our standard is for your agreement to be given to at least provisionally carry on, so that we shall be justified in producing the larger pitch bevel gears to the utmost extent of our capacity.
