| To Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} Sft{Mr Swift}/Les.2/B.22.8.40. Re: Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}13/ML.18.8.40. We attach your memo to Roy.{Sir Henry Royce} asking for a covering order to be sent to The Pattern & Model Manufacturing Co., Coventry. This note, however, gives no piece number, description of the pattern, or order number to which the item should be charged and in consequence we are unable to send the necessary covering order.
