| To Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} from Ev.{Ivan Evernden - coachwork} 19.6.40. Re Blue Print Machine. Attached is a letter + catalogue of new + second hand machines which have been sent to us as a result of Mr Wards enquiries. The second hand machines take two size six drawings for £28 to £37. whereas a new machine to take one size 5 new costs from £37 to £70. In some respects the smaller new machine would appear to be the better proposition, in that it would do our job, + be new. However the S.H. Halden machine is good. | ||
