| 102 09 Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}5/R.{Sir Henry Royce} 9th July, 1938. J.{Mr Johnson W.M.} Howlett, Esq., Wellworthy Piston Rings Ltd., Lymington, HANTS: Dear Mr. Howlett, In view of your remarks the other day, I have forwarded all the Leyland drawings to Lymington as we do not wish to handle this job when it is clear that you can do it at Wellworthys. I spoke to Markland on the 'phone this morning, and told him what I was doing. They have been exceedingly slow over the drawings, and I believe that you have only the big-ends now, the main bearing drawings they are finishing next week, and I have told them to send them direct to you. We understand that Dennis Bros. are in trouble with their centre main bearing. I am arranging for my Representative to visit them early next week, and if Blackith wants to go on the job at the same time, I suggest that he rings up and leaves a message with Grylls on Monday. I shall be in Paris until towards the end of the week. Yours sincerely, | ||
