When you were over here recently you left behind photographs whichS3TATINTL
u
wanted to take with you. However, I am hopeful that within the next day or
so
you will be seeing the equipment in the flesh, itself. The situation on the
final delivery stage was, of course, most distressing in that we pulled out all
the stops and were working night and day to get this equipment ready and then
having achieved this although a bit late and obviously an embarrassment to you
it was delayed for a further 6 to 7 day due to had weather and lack

STATINTL these delivery dates for the blocks and gratings we will certainly do so but again
luck has not been with us as the master ruling was damaged and the new one which has
been produced will give us test samples at the end of this week. These have to
be approved by us and then supplies have to come forward and this will inevitably
cause some time delay after the return of information of acceptance. I was
naturally hoping that we would get the blocks and gratings for No.2 machine out to
Rome at an early date so that you could probably accept both machines from the No.

I hope things go well with you on the first machine and that you find
the performance entirely to your satisfaction.
