| W/K.{Mr Kilner} To Pk/KC. from Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/NRC.{N. R. Chandler} Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/NRC.{N. R. Chandler}9/MH.{M. Huckerby}24.11.37. 1110 GRAPHITE BRONZE CLUTCH FACINGS. Thanks for your Pk/KC/DBP.23.11.37 re Professor F.J.Dykes and his son. We quite agree that it would have been advisable to fit Graphite Bronze facings to the son's car, but unfortunately it is impossible to supply any more at the moment until we receive further supplies. We do now know when the new consignment will come to hand but will keep you advised. It is very gratifying to know that the facings on Professor Dykes' car are behaving so satisfactorily.
