EJJ. from Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} Clan gen Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}4/ML.19.3.41. 17 MOVEMENT OF HUT FROM PARK LEYS UP TO CLAN FOUNDRY. Will you please arrange for the hut to be moved from Park Leys to the Clan Foundry as soon as possible. When I spoke to you about this hut I said that we were satisfied with the stove heating. We have reviewed the problem again and have come to the conclusion that it would be more economical, both in man-power and room, to carry the steam pipes from the main heating, through this hut. It is proposed to erect the hut at the Clan Foundry, immediately behind the water cooling tower, and there is at present a steam pipe immediately adjacent to this site.
