JOHN: Oh Lord! It couldn't be worse. We were hoping to break into the market with
this.
WENTWORTH: Well, I should get your application in to the Patent Office.
JOHN: But, Mr. Wentworth, we've only just had the report in today from the patent
agents.
GRANT: Well, you'd better get our application in today, John.
JOHN: Right, H.G. May I use your phone?
GRANT: Yes, yes.
JOHN: (he picks up phone and dials): Sally? The new box file paper holder... I want
the second copy of the specification, and the photostat of the drawing. Let me have
them straight away, will you? I'm in the airman's office. What? You sent them to
Birmingham? Both copies of the drawing? Oh, good gracious, what on earth did you
do that for? Can't the Design Department let us have another copyv?.. Yes, ask them.
GRANT: What's the trouble?
JOHN: Apparently Sally sent off both copies we had of the drawing to the
Birmingham factory who are making the file for us. She forgot to check whether they
were, in fact, the only two copies in existence.
GRANT: What time does the Patent Office close?
WENTWORTH: Six o'clock. You ought to know that, Hector.
(The internal phone rings.)
GRANT: Yes? Oh, John? It's your secretary.
JOHN: What? They can't find them? Well, it's too late now to be sorry.
GRANT: What's happened?
JOHN: The Design Department can't find the original designs.
GRANT: Do we need drawings for the Patent Office?
JOHN: In some cases it's not necessary to supply drawings for a provisional
specification, but in this case, apparently, we must include them.
WENTWORTH: Well, get on to Birmingham. What's the time now? Twelve twenty.
If they put them on the next train to London you could have them collected at the
station and taken straight round to the Patent Office.
GRANT: (speaking into phone): Get me Mr. dark, of the Kitson Board Company,
Birmingham, will you. It's urgent.
JOHN: One of my sales clerks has got a motor bike. I'll send him to collect the
drawings and he can take them straight to the Patent Office. I'll get on to him...
