| 1260. To Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}....From RHC.{R. H. Coverley - Production Engineer} RHC.{R. H. Coverley - Production Engineer}1/FH.9.8.38. WRAITH. Referring to the attached from JWW. on the question of Die Castings, it is intended to obtain outside quotations in order to get comparisons, but we are trying to arrange a programme for Die Cast Production. Whilst this is only a preliminary statement, there will no doubt be slight alterations to patterns required after complete investigation. When final costs are available, we shall have to discuss with you the question of quantities. At the same time you will be particularly interested in the small numbers that are required to liquidate the Die Charges on the parts mentioned. RHC.{R. H. Coverley - Production Engineer} [Signature] | ||
