Engineer} from Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} Instructions shop Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}1/ML.5.11.40. Will you please give us a picture of what you have already done and what you would like to do on clutch thrust races, so that we can be sure that work goes on on this subject until a solution is found. We are re-listing all material in the Stores and throwing out what is of no use and should be glad if you would come over and give us the low-down on axles, gearboxes, and the steering pieces, as soon as you get a little time to spare.
