| Jnr. {Charles L. Jenner} from Rm. {William Robotham - Chief Engineer} Lubrication c. Ev. {Ivan Evernden - coachwork} c. Rm {William Robotham - Chief Engineer} /HH. Rm. {William Robotham - Chief Engineer} 15/ML.12.12.40. 1184 DIP-STICK - RATIONALISED ENGINES. You will remember that we queried the accessibility of our crankcase dip-stick, compared with other American and English cars. We should like our dip-sticks to be modified so that they are made of strip steel and have a handle which is more accessible. If you have not the time to deal with this yourself, perhaps you would give Rm {William Robotham - Chief Engineer} /HH. a sketch from which he can produce the necessary drawing.
