YOUR TELNO'S 2242 AND 2185: SHIPPING REGISTER AND RENDITION
1. SINCE THE INTRODUCTION OF A COMPUTERISED TRANSMISSION ORDERING
SYSTEM. TELEGRAMS WITH ROUTINE OR PRIORITY PRECEDENCE ARE SOMETIMES DELAYED BY SEVERAL DAYS IN REACHING US. THIS IS BECAUSE THE COMPUTER
SELECTS HIGHTER PREDEDENCE TELEGRAMS FOR TRANSMISSION FIRST. IN VIEW OF THE HIGH VOLUME OF TELEGRAMS RECEIVED HERE WE FREQUENTLY REACH THE END OF THE DAY WITH AN OUTSTANDING BACKLONG OF LOWER PRECEDENCE TELEGRAMS WHICH MIGHT HAVE TO WAIT SEVERAL MORE DAYS UNTIL THE VOLUME OF HIGHER PRECEDENCE TELEGRAMS SUBSIDES.
2. AS A RESULT, WE HAVE STILL NOT YET RECEIVED FIRST TUR OF 10 JUNE ON THE SHIPPING REGISTER AND THE FIRST PART OF SECOND TUR OF 1 JUNE ON RENDITION. SO THAT WE MAY COMMENT (IF NECESSARY) ON TUR'S IN GOOD TIME, GRATEFUL IF HONG KONG WOULD REPEAT THEM TO US WITH IMMEDIATE PRECEDENCE.
