| To EY. from Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} c. to Wor.{Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager} 44135 Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}1/LG13.11.24. RE. CORRONIL OR MONEL METAL TUBES. 44135 44603 There seems to be a definite difference in opinion between the Expl: Dept: and the Works as regards the advantages of Corronil metal compared with monel metal. We do not think that running the tubes in a cylinder will be a very conclusive test. We suggest that a series of tests should be made with metals in order to prove which material will swage the easiest. Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} | ||
