| Sg.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} from Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}7/R.1.10.37. 261 re: Professor Dodds' 4¼-litre B.34-GA. Replying to Sg{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD}16/E28.9.37., we would rather give Professor Dodds heavier cast iron drums than aluminium drums at the present moment. We have, however, none of either available. If you want to fit a set to B.34-GA, if you will let us know we will prepare same. Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} | ||
