| To HPS.{Horace Percy Smith - Experimental Factory Mgr} from Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Std. c. Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Wym.{G. Harold Whyman - Experimental Manager} δ 600a Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Std.8/MH.{M. Huckerby}19.1.38. Referring to memo Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Std.3/MH.{M. Huckerby}12.138, since we understand that it will probably be a week to 10 days before 26.G.VI leaves England, will you please endeavour to have the matrix unit requested therein ready for fitting before it goes, as we are very anxious to do the running on this unit. Will you please also endeavour to have the under-sheets (to GW.1967/8) instructed by D.O. - By/CRL.{C. R. Lisson}2/E.20.1.38, ready for fitting as soon as possible as we would like to make certain tests on them before 26.G.VI leaves. The front sheet GW.1967 can be made from existing undersheet.
