COPY. Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}3/ML. A.D. Arm. P.1. Air Ministry, Dept., Z.A. Harrogate. For the attention of Mr. M.A.C. MacDonald. Dear Mr. MacDonald, I should be very glad if you would remind Sir John Salmon that we want material release for 25 sets of 13.2 gun material and 25 sets of 40 mm. gun material, and that we are going to be severely handicapped in the experimental production of both these weapons unless we get a release promptly. Yours sincerely, p.p. W.A. Robotnam. Dictated but signed in Mr. Robotnam's absence.
