Thank you for your Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}5/LG1.3.27 and the fluff mounted in a slide, which has also been received. I will pass this on to the Shell Mex people for their inspection. You mention that I have a micro photograph of this piece of fluff, which is not the case. I think it is the same that I saw under the microscope, but I have received no photograph and would like to have one. If you have taken this, please send me a copy. CWB. Take no notice. I have since seen Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}3/LG 25227. Very good. Cwd | ||
