| WOT. from HG. c. to EFC. c. to G.{Mr Griffiths - Chief Accountant / Mr Gnapp} X.3066 RECEIVED! SEP 28 1920 HS{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/LG28.9.20. RE STANDARDISATION SHEETS. With reference to your memo. Wor{Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager}5/M28.9.20 stating that in future costs and weights must be included on standardisation sheets before you will sign them. We wish to point out that we consider this will entail serious delay in getting the parts standardised. As an instance, on the 15th.July we wrote to Mr. Delooze for the cost of fitting a Thermostat - this information was required by BJ. We have received that information today which means that it has taken 10 weeks to arrive at the cost of fitting a Thermostat. You will undoubtedly agree that we cannot hold up the standardisation sheets for this length of time. Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} | ||
