| 1158 S/W. Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Std. [Text struck through: Copy to Hn{F. C. Honeyman - Retail orders}] LE10/C/3.5.38. [Handwritten:] Let me see this W.A.R(illegible) [Handwritten:] Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} Re Clayton Heaters. Further to the above and my LE10/C/30.4.38. I am sending you one of the latest type Clayton Heater rheostats together with a control knob which we think would be about the right size. This, of course, should be chromium plated with an arrow engraved on it. Perhaps you would like to take this matter up with the Makers and return the rheostat to me as soon as you have finished with it as it is one I have had to get from Clayton on loan. Will you please let me know what you eventually fix up with Clayton. [Signature: J.E.S.] | ||
