| Rm. {William Robotham - Chief Engineer} 6/h. 22nd November, 1941. Dear Leigh Newton, Thank you for your letter of November 19th. As you can imagine, the 'spares' position is most acute, since we have completely shut down on everything to do with motor-cars. However, if I can lay hands on the big end bearings you require, I shall send them over. Yours sincerely, Leigh Newton, Esq., Vernon's Oak, Sudbury, DERBY. | ||
