Mr Calder.

We frequently arrange for the re-verification of

weights and measures, These are sent direct to us by the

Colonial Government concerned. On receipt in this office

firms are invited to inspect them and afterwards quote for

the necessary re-conditioning, including Standards Dept.

fees for re-verification and the cost of repacking and

delivery f.o.b. We suggest this course should be adopted

by Hong Kong.

Without knowing the extent of re-conditioning

required it is not possible to give a reliable estimate,

but if only a nominal amount of work is required to be

done on the standards, the cost might be, say £30 or £40,

to which should be added the Standards Dept. verification

fees, as given in their letter of March 15th, 1932.
