To be lost in the heart of Don- don, within a stone's throw of the Nows-Chronicle City Office, was the fate that befell me writes the News-Chronicle City correspon.. dent. As I wandered about in the great new Lloyds Bank Head Of- fice I found the chairman, Mr. J. W. Beaumont Pease, in a similar predicament unable to find his

For four years 600 men have been working at this giant build- ing which faces on to Cornhill and Lombard-street.

Altogether there are 11 floors, but only five entrances, and Mr. Camp told me there were advan tages in auch a smail number of entrances and exits!

The bank will open for basi- ness the day after August Bank Holiday.

After that date cashiers will no longer need to feel embrassed when a client presents a big cheque.

Instead of asking him to wait while he sees from the ledger whe- ther, he is good for so large an amount he will scribble down the query on the tele-writer at his side. This automatically repeats the written message on a pad in the ledger room downstairs. The reply comes back in similar fa- shion.
