| SECRET. To Roy.{Sir Henry Royce} from Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Les.{Ivan A. Leslie} c. Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} 427 Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Les.3/MH.{M. Huckerby}27.4.38. As John Thompsons have assembled 4 Expt. B.III frames at £6 each which has turned out to be under half cost price, we have agreed to pay a further £6.10.0d. on each frame. This makes a total payment of £26. If we are going to use Briggs for production supplies, who cannot deal with expt. frames, it is essential that we should retain Thompsons goodwill by showing them that we do not want them to lose money on expt. frames. Will you please make the necessary arrangements so that Thompsons are paid an extra £26. Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Les.{Ivan A. Leslie} | ||
