[Handwritten initials 'FJH {Fred J. Hardy - Chief Dev. Engineer} ' across the reference line] In order that all people concerned may be given a chance to give attention to items of design, we would be glad if you would send any instructions which call for a new design to the Design Office, and not direct to Rm {William Robotham - Chief Engineer} /HH. This gives the designer a chance to study the issue, to produce any designs needed, or to instruct Rm {William Robotham - Chief Engineer} /HH. if he considers the work you require can be carried out satisfactory without a scheme from him. Will you please inform your assistant. [Handwritten tick mark] Ev. {Ivan Evernden - coachwork} | ||
