X1200 To HY.{Tom Haldenby - Plant Engineer} from ROY.{Sir Henry Royce} c.c. to E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} c.c. to BY c. to Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} ROY{Sir Henry Royce}10/MG13.5.36 200 P.III Chassis Nos. 213-412 Following our recent conversation, as arranged we have Wor{Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager}'s authority for 200 sets of Bar and material for such Chassis, including lon. distance details, and the latter have been released to us as necessary by the D.O. The time has now arrived when, if we are to maintain our Programme, all the material for such Chassis should be released, and I understand we are in order in proceeding accordingly. Chart attached shows Programme, based on the present output of 10 per week. Kindly confirm, or otherwise. As you are aware, the difficulty in obtaining material today is not getting less, due to the abnormal state of Trade generally throughout the country. In giving authority for 200 sets of such material, it would be, of course, with the usual proviso that details on which the Drawing Office or Experimental Shop are in doubt should be held in abeyance.
