ROY{Sir Henry Royce}/MS1/P.17.12.29. CHROMIUM PLATING. We attach copy of letter received this morning from Messrs Harcourts Ltd. A representative of Messrs Barker & Allen called here a week or so ago, and in course of conversation he stated that several firms who had adopted the use of brass for Chrome Plated parts had found that it was not a success, and consequently had reverted to their original practice of Chrome Plating on Nickel Silver.
