Hy.{Tom Haldenby - Plant Engineer} (Strikethrough) HHt Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} Re: CHASSIS N° B.69.DX - de KERKAVANOIS -------------------------------------------------------- Stiffened type headlamp Crossmembers. With reference to By.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer}'s memo By/Gen.II/G.21.5.36, a copy of which you possess, we have to-day received in Case N° B.542: 2 FB.2534 stiffened type Headlamp Crossmembers with reinforced end brackets. These will suffice for our present immediate requirements. With reference to the last paragraph of By.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer}'s memo we shall be glad, providing that you are in a position to do so, if you will dispatch two more of the type as sent in Case N° B.542 (type with reinforced end brackets), with two to follow, or better still, if you have the material at hand, we should prefer that you sent the four in the same case. We want to avoid stocking any headlamp crossmembers which have not got the reinforced type end brackets, because it is the type which fails. Please find attached our official Order N° 889. Sr/VA.
