| 1200. Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/AFM.{Anthony F. Martindale} from Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Smth. MILLENITE. Millenite appears to be an expensive product which, at the moment, does not justify its cost. We should like to know:- (a) How much is being used on chassis at present, and whether we cannot supercede it by less costly material. (b) How much is being designed in the new chassis, and whether we cannot start our experimental cars off with an alter-native material. Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} | ||
