| Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/CGS. G/WFH/CA.52/JB.1.8.41. We confirm our memo ref. G/WFH/CA.54/EV.{Ivan Evernden - coachwork} 3.7.41 informing you that we have invoices from the Hoffmann Manufacturing Co. Limited for 3 LS.19 1/2, 6 - RLS.8, 12 LS.14, 24 - LS.12 and 6 RXLS - 2 1/2 Bearings for which Hoffmann's do not appear to have had a covering order. It would appear that the bearings were ordered by letter ref. Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/CTS.{C. Trot Salt - Carburation}1/EP{G. Eric Platford - Chief Quality Engineer} 3.3.41 although the quantities despatched by Hoffmanns are more than those you ordered. Will you please let us know if there is any prospect of a covering order being despatched to Hoffmann's as until one does go we cannot proceed any further with the invoices. G/WFH. | ||
