To Sft{Mr Swift}/LA.{L. A. Archer} from Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} Copy to Sft.{Mr Swift} 1265 Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}1/ET.21.11.40. K8417. (Conversion from VI to XXX). -------------------------------- Attached is a copy of a report from Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/RH.{R. Hollingworth} on the oil pumps that failed in the A.I.D. test at Derby. The fact that these pumps are so easily inter-changeable is somewhat disturbing and perhaps you would kindly warn the Assembly Shop of the situation. Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} | ||
