| 1280 To Roy. {Sir Henry Royce} from Rm {William Robotham - Chief Engineer} /Std. c. G {Mr Griffiths - Chief Accountant / Mr Gnapp} /JWH. Rm {William Robotham - Chief Engineer} /Std.11/WH.5.11.38. We recently ordered by telephone from Messrs. John Marston, one replacement Bentley III matrix unit comprising matrix, plates, top and bottom tanks and side plates, to replace the unit damaged on 8.B.V. in France. Will you please send them an official order to cover supply of this unit which has been received. The charge will presumably only be for the matrix and side plates since the damaged unit has now been returned to them and the top and bottom tanks of same are useable for further radiators which they are building for us.
