| 261 Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}7/MH.{M. Huckerby} 7th. March, 1940. G.R.N.Minchin, Esq., Messrs. Peto & Radford, "Rundells", Latton, Nr. Harlow, ESSEX. Dear Minchin, Thank you for your letter of March 5th. We are not in a very good position for examining cars at Derby at the moment, since all our service work has been transferred to Hythe Road. I suggest, therefore, that it would really be better if you took it in there, particularly as it is nearer your Works. I would not like to pass an opinion as to whether the engine requires a re-bore or not until I have some more information. Yours sincerely, | ||
