| To Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} From RHC.{R. H. Coverley - Production Engineer} 1280 RHC.{R. H. Coverley - Production Engineer}1/MJ.1.6.37. Handwritten notes: Filed Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/STM In reply to Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Std.4/AP.31.5.37 requesting the despatch of the Shaping Block for the Bentley shell which is at present in the Radiator Shop, we do not understand what use this block will be as it is so badly damaged and it is not intended to go into the question of reconditioning. In view of the above, if you still consider the Shaping Block will meet Messrs. Marstons requirements we will arrange for this to be handed over for despatch. STEADMAN RHC.{R. H. Coverley - Production Engineer} [Signature] | ||
