| Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} from Wor.{Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager} X4538. Wor{Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager}9/T25.4.32. I attach copy of a note I have received from EP.{G. Eric Platford - Chief Quality Engineer}, as I notice you have nothad a copy. Do you consider it is a serious matter for the Synchro Mesh 20/25 to weigh one hundredweight heavier than the previous 20/25, it does appear so to me because of the cost of material. Perhaps you would like to investigate this and let me have your views later. Wor.{Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager} attd copy EP{G. Eric Platford - Chief Quality Engineer}/Thn8/E22.4.32. | ||
