Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}3/ML. D.L.Frise,Esq., Bristol Aeroplane Co.Ltd., Filton House, BRISTOL. Dear Frise, I am sorry to hear about your air-raid but understand that you escaped unharmed. I hope that you are none the worse for your experience. Last time I visited you, I saw some containers in the Drawing Office in which, presumably, prints are stored to protect them from fire hazard or enemy action. I shall be very much obliged if you can tell me who manufactures this equipment. Yours sincerely, | ||
