| -2- Garage Covered Wash. When we moved into the Garage in the middle of October you promised to fix up a covered wash and petrol pump for us. The need for this has become more acute since builders working on the single cylinder units in the old yard have completely obstructed our previous washing facilities. We note that you have agreed to let us see drawings of what it is proposed to do in the future. Extension of the Garage where Sand Blast Plant used to be. Experimental work has definitely been held up owing to the delay in making this move, which I recollect was promised a fortnight after we got into the new garage. The bay of the existing garage where the stores are is required for a blower rig test house and the new car test house. Entrance to the Garage. As we have pointed out to you, the entrance to the existing garage is repeatedly being obstructed by oil lorries and oil barrels. Furthermore, with the door in its present position we have not really a satisfactory entrance. This was agreed to originally because it was understood that the ascetilene plant would be moved to give us a straight run into the yard. We shall be glad to know what is preventing this scheme going forward. Office Furniture. We have now all the office furniture except the two drawing boards. | ||
