TELEPHONES.
CLAN FOUNDRY.

Further to our telephone conversation a few days ago re the above, this is to confirm that we wish to have telephone Ext: No: 12, to be transferred from the passage in which it is now connected, to the new office opposite, with 15 feet. spare flex.

Will you please arrange for the G.P.O. telephone representative to call at the Clan Foundry for this job, and we will issue verbal instructions as to where we want this 'phone to be placed exactly, as we have not got a sufficiently up-to-date print of the revised office lay-out at the Clan.

Referring to the 7 spare lines of which you spoke, these should be cancelled.

Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}

Dictated, but signed in Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}'s absence.
