Jeavons Lubricating Spring Gaiters. ----------------------------- With reference to your memo Wd {Mr Wood / Mr Whitehead} 2/NJ/22.11.21, we are of the opinion that it is desirable to recommend the blocked type of gaiters, as we think that the type of gaiters which are cut away for the spring guide clips, the water is sure to enter sooner or later. We write this memo therefore, so that anyone ordering Jeavons Gaiters will bear this in mind, and in filling up the form will enter the words "Blocked Clips". [Stamp: RECEIVED 1921 EP. {G.
