Constructional Engineers, confirming a verbal or…der 'for the installation and supply of lightning conductors' to 2 Orchard Rise, Sheen Common Drive, East Sheen. Accompanied by the firm's typed confirmation of the order, 13 November 1930, signed by director Alfred Hands, on two pages of a quarto bifolium, on a letterhead elaborately printed with, among other features, an engraving of a church being struck by lightning, surrounded by illustrations of the 'Prize Medals Awarded At International Exhibitions'. Gives a detailed quotation of the work to be undertaken. Statement and receipt for the same order follow. Also included is an eight-page quarto stapled publicity pamphlet, printed on art paper in red and black, with twelve photographic illustrations (ten of them of different sorts of lightning) together with an attractive full-page illustration showing two men 'Gilding the Cross of St. Paul's Cathedral' ('From THE SPHERE, August 3th, 1913. Four Hundred Feet above the London Street'). The last faces a page reproducing a piece from the City Press, 13 August 1913, entitled 'St. Paul's Dome, Regilding and Lightning Conductors'.
