| Rm {William Robotham - Chief Engineer} /A.A. from Rm. {William Robotham - Chief Engineer} Rm. {William Robotham - Chief Engineer} 4/ML.12.9.40. Will you please investigate Rose's petrol request. He says he got forty gallons last month. If he is only going 850 miles and his car does 32 miles to the gallon, he only requires twenty-seven units. Furthermore, he now gets two week-ends off a month, which should reduce his mileage by 1/10. Rm. {William Robotham - Chief Engineer} | ||
