| To Roy{Sir Henry Royce}/AES. from Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Wym.{G. Harold Whyman - Experimental Manager} 126G Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Wym.{G. Harold Whyman - Experimental Manager}7/ET.13.1.41. Re your memo Roy{Sir Henry Royce}/AES.1/MH.{M. Huckerby}11.1.41, and enclosure No.25, we appreciate the spares position, but would you write and ask them if we could have 2 more ROTOR and GLAND assemblies and 2 bearing assemblies. These parts are required for an urgent job, the nature of which we cannot disclose. They are not required for a BUICK car, but something very important. Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Wym.{G.
