| 1204 Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} from Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}1/R.13.1.37. As you will see from the enclosed two notes, Hancock is making a practice of addressing technical complaints to Sg.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} Personally, I think it would be better if the Managing Director was not worried with a multitude of technical details such as these, as he is unavoidably likely to get into a flat spin, and worry everybody about something which is of almost negligible importance. As, however, you started Hancock off on the Quarterly complaints, perhaps you would let me have your opinion. Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} | ||
