| 125b. To Roy.{Sir Henry Royce} from Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Mths.{Reg Matthews} Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Mths.{Reg Matthews}6/MH.{M. Huckerby}5.7.38. With reference to your memo Roy{Sir Henry Royce}/AW.12/IB.2.7.38, it will be quite alright to accept the order as complete as we intended to have two complete sets of pistons with two pistons spare. We shall, therefore, only have one spare piston which should not handicap us at all. Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Mths.{Reg Matthews} | ||
