| 1256 To G/WFH. from Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/CTS.{C. Trot Salt - Carburation} c. Roy{Sir Henry Royce}/AW. Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/CTS.{C. Trot Salt - Carburation}8/MH.{M. Huckerby}27.1.39. In reply to your memo ref. G/WFH/CA.24/WP.23.1.39, concerning the supply of 144 piston rings instead of 72 as ordered from Wellworthy, as we have already stated we require only 72 rings, and the remainder are therefore surplus. These are therefore available for return to Wellworthy, and in any case only 72 rings should be paid for. Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/CTS.{C. Trot Salt - Carburation} | ||
