Telephone 4483 102 "Sylviadale," 42, Warwick Avenue, Earlsdon, Coventry. 22/5/40 Dear Mr. Robotham As arranged I visited P.W's yesterday & saw that the two pairs of experimental units were being fitted to Kiffled. I understand that Mr Ward has advised for that they will be ready for your inspection on Friday next. The suggested small locker in the boot has been fitted, & I think will be a useful addition & would be better if slightly welled base instead of flat as fitted. I pointed this out to the foreman on the job, but forgot to mention it to Mr. Ward. Will you look at this? I am promised the necessary tracings of P.T.O | ||
