There was no further debate, the meeting being completed dazed, and the motion to allocate up to 100 to the purchase was given assent. | + | Brian Harvey advanced the next item: our duplicator, he told us, had given up the ghost: it was second-, or third-, hand when we acquired it about four years ago, and although it could be repaired to some extent, he considered we should buy a new machine.
