- File 17/29 DISPOSAL OF CERTAIN ELECTRIC GENERATING EQUIPMENT ORIGINALLY ORDERED FOR INSTALLATION IN CONSULATES AT BANDAR ABBAS AND BUSHIRE
- Scope & Content:
- This file documents the Bahrain Political Agent's efforts to find a new owner for some electric generating equipment that was ordered from England by the Political Residency in the Persian Gulf. In order to avoid having to cancel the order (and pay a large cancellation fee) the Residency requests that the Political Agent make enquiries in Bahrain and elsewhere in the Gulf, in the hope of finding a buyer for the equipment, which was intended for the consulates at Bunder Abbas [Bandar-e ʻAbbās] and Bushire but is now no longer required. The file contains the Political Agent's correspondence with the following: the Secretary to the Political Resident in the Persian Gulf, Bahrain; the Residency Agent, Sharjah; the Adviser to the Government of Bahrain; the Manager of Petroleum Development (Qatar) Ltd; the Secretary to the Ruler of Qatar, Salih Al-Mani' [Ṣāliḥ Āl Māni‘].
