X1775 To Wor.{Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager} from Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}2/LG4.10.23. With reference to the attached. RHC.{R. H. Coverley - Production Engineer} and myself have carefully considered this matter and see no reason why we should not take full responsibility for watching the Expl: Dept: There will be practically 2 Watchmen always on duty. There are Watchmens' keys in different parts of the Department so that we are assured that the place is patrolled every hour instead of every 2 hours as was done by Sergeant Cobb.
