| γ 602. To Roy {Mr H. Royce - Buyer} /Hs. {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} from Rm {William Robotham - Chief Engineer} /Gry. {Shadwell Grylls} c. By. {R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} c. RHC. {R. H. Coverley - Production Engineer} Rm {William Robotham - Chief Engineer} /Gry. {Shadwell Grylls} 8/MH. {M. Huckerby} 29.4.38. .4 CARBON AXLE TUBES - WRAITH. If, as we understand, it is impossible to obtain S/N axle tubes in time for RHC {R. H. Coverley - Production Engineer} 's requirements, thenwe agree to ordering 25 sets in .4 carbon steel but also 25 sets in S/N. for delivery as soon as possible so that if further experimental testing proves carbon steel to be unsatisfactory the tubes can later be changed to S/N. If it is not necessary to change the tubes the S/N. can be used up on chassis 50 - 75. Rm {William Robotham - Chief Engineer} /Gry. {Shadwell Grylls} | ||
