To By. {R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} from Rm {William Robotham - Chief Engineer} /Les. c. RHC. {R. H. Coverley - Production Engineer} 1306 also 1260 Rm {William Robotham - Chief Engineer} /Les.10/MH. {M. Huckerby} 14.3.38. MATERIAL OF ANTI-ROLL RODS. Ph.III F.88623 is S/CV. Wraith FW.873 is S/CV. Confirming this morning's conversation it is suggested that we should change immediately to S/SLM. This will save approximately 2/2d. per chassis. Rm {William Robotham - Chief Engineer} /Les. | ||
