| -2- with a view to seeing whether the material in the Clearing House Stores would be of any value for future production or repairs, and to put on one side any material which would not be of value for the above, and get rid of same. It would then be the business of Mr. Whitehead's Dept. to get rid of these stores at the best possible price. With regard to raw material (of which the conference are of the opinion there is quite a certain amount) which has been in our Stores for some years, a committee of the conference has undertaken to go through these stores and see if any can be made use of, either for the production of the next 500 chassis or for repairs to older chassis, or could be made use of in any other way, and any material which is of no use to be disposed of at best possible prices. The Conference were of the opinion that only a small building such as a Test House, would be quite big enough for this Clearing House Stores; the smaller the house, up to a point, being better, as it would stop any accumulation of stores, which are bringing in no return to the company. | ||
