| L7961 To Hd.{Mr Hayward/Mr Huddy} Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}14/KW. 2.7.34. B-46-AH. G.{Mr Griffiths - Chief Accountant / Mr Gnapp} Summers, Esq. We have the following message from G.{Mr Griffiths - Chief Accountant / Mr Gnapp} Summers, Esq., Cornist Hall, Flint, Cheshire :- "I have lost the bakelite cover for the top of my ignition coil. I had, I think, omitted to notice that the retaining screw which holds this cover on had come loose, and had evidently come right off, the cover with it, and dropped on to the road. The fault was mine in not seeing that it was properly secure, and I should be glad if you would post me a new one, complete with retaining screw." Will you please send him these parts and charge them up to his account. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} | ||
