Hancock - Head Chateauroux}21/KW. 10.9.36. on the petrol pump position, which was fully discussed with me before the report in question was written, I am of the opinion that we should immediately instruct the S.U. people to introduce their G.2. type material, which represents their present standard for customers other than Rolls-Royce. In view of the urgency of the matter, and in view of all the facts, it would appear that in this instance we should not await a standardisation sheet but make an immediate move as suggested by Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/GWH.{George W. Hancock - Head Chateauroux} BY (handwritten) BY.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} | ||
