| 804. To Ev.{Ivan Evernden - coachwork} from Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/FD.{Frank Dodd - Bodies} Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/FD.{Frank Dodd - Bodies}4/JH.25.10.38. re 9.B.5. & 2.B.50. Bodies. We are experiencing rather a difficulty at the moment in obtaining the right brew for the sorbo rubber tool holders. Under the circumstances, perhaps it would be as well to notify P.W. that should they arrive at the tool fixing stage before we are ready to supply, not to wait for us.
