| CLAN FOUNDRY FILE PRIVATE AND CONFIDENTIAL. Ev{Ivan Evernden - coachwork}4/30.1.40. To Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} from Ev.{Ivan Evernden - coachwork} RE LADY TRACER FOR CLAN. EXPL. I have been given the following names by Ev{Ivan Evernden - coachwork}/HH. They are in order of merit. Miss Griffin. Miss Ruth Warren. Miss Gwen Henderson. As an alternative I am told that the following girls are quite good. Miss Rita Alsop. Miss Ivy Lines, Mrs Twedell is in charge of the Tracing Office, and I am informed, that she came under the jurisdiction of By.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} but that By/Mtn. did the actual administration. However, I gather that the lady in question likes to imagine that she works for CgM. It does seem essential for the Aero and Chassis Sections each to have their own Tracing Office. [Signature] Ev.{Ivan Evernden - coachwork} | ||
