Sg.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} from Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} 6.B.IV Sgl/R.1.2.37. Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}9/R.2.2.37. We expect that the parts for 6.B.IV will be released by Customs to the Paris Depot before the end of this week. Getting parts to France always takes longer than one would anticipate. The repair will take at least another week dependent upon how much we like to sacrifice running on 35-EX. The matter is further complicated by the fact that 3.B.IV - the car which was being run for bearings - is now ready to go to France. Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} | ||
