| 1054 W/S. C. from Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} c. By.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}9/R.11.8.39. This is to confirm our telephone conversation that we wish to get a Chrysler Coupe for investigation into body construction of this type of car. We understand that the car which we selected in London which was on the market @ £145 has been sold, but that you will endeavour to get another one of a similar type. To be sure that it is what we want, we would ask you to contact AFM.{Anthony F. Martindale} of the Experimental Dept. and get him to try it before the purchase is completed. Both Gry.{Shadwell Grylls} and Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} will be in Camp next week. Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} | ||
