| Y5-340. To RHC{R. H. Coverley - Production Engineer} from ROY.{Sir Henry Royce} c. to Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} [struck through] c. to DY.{F R Danby} [struck through] ROY{Sir Henry Royce}2/MG14.2.30 25 HP. Propeller Shaft Tubes, Piece No. 54035 The three special Tubes you required in such desperate haste on Monday afternoon left the makers' Works late last night by Passenger Train, and should be now in your possession. The production of Tubes at such short notice, bringing them by Passenger Train, working overtime etc., is very expensive. If arrangements could be made to give us more notice of your requirements under this heading, it would enable us to effect considerable economy in making such arrangements.
