To C. from Rm. {William Robotham - Chief Engineer}
Rm. {William Robotham - Chief Engineer} 1/BT. {Capt. J. S. Burt - Engineer} 12.1.41.

TRIALS CAR NO. B-20-AW.

With reference to C5/C9.1.41.

I am afraid it will be quite impossible to complete modifications to this chassis by Friday, January 17th.

One modification consists of stripping the gearbox and machining some of the parts; under the circumstances, you can imagine how difficult it is to get this done.

We hope to let you have the car back in three weeks time.
