In a letter to Air M.

Messrs Preece-, Cardrew, and Ryder, with headquarters at Westminster, London, are probably the most widely-known firm of consulting electrical engineers in the world, advising upon vast const ruction works in all parts, particularly so in the ( rowti colonies, Shanghai, and the Fast, the Argentine, and Africa. The firm are consulting engineers to the Wellington. Auckland, and other Dominion municipalities, and to Australian corporations. including the S \( l l ie\ City Corporation, it has been suggested that Mr Parry would shortly return to New Zealand to take up his permanent residence and work, but bis acceptance of so important a post apparently effectively discounts such statements.
