| W/P. Sr. from Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} 1243 Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}4/R.24.7.37. Many thanks for Sr19/ET.22.7.37. As you know the Works are at present closed. Almost as soon as they re-open we hope to have some supplies of high-pressure petrol pumps and clutches. At the moment, we have exhausted the few experimental parts that we had. I can assure you that we will give you preference in the matter. As you may have heard we have had a complete re-organisation of the Technical Staff at the Works, which has temporarily upset matters. I hope, however, to get over to France before the end of August. If I included a week-end, would it be possible to get a day's shooting with you ? I presume that you do not really start until September. Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} | ||
