| To: Roy {Mr H. Royce - Buyer} from Rm {William Robotham - Chief Engineer} /Wym. {G. Harold Whyman - Experimental Manager} 1166 Rm {William Robotham - Chief Engineer} /Wym. {G. Harold Whyman - Experimental Manager} 4/RH. {R. Hollingworth} 28.7.4 In reply to your memo Roy {Mr H. Royce - Buyer} /AES.18/MH. {M. Huckerby} 25.7.41, and the accompanying letter from Messrs. Dunlops, with reference to the jacks requested in our memo Rm {William Robotham - Chief Engineer} /Wym. {G. Harold Whyman - Experimental Manager} 5/SW.18.7.41. It is essential for us to have jacks, and though we appreciate the problem of supplies, we might suggest obtaining a similar jack from other makers, failing that, the jack No.35 described in the communication from Messrs. Dunlops would suit our purpose if they can be supplied in a reasonable time. Rm {William Robotham - Chief Engineer} /Wym. {G. Harold Whyman - Experimental Manager} | ||
