| To Roy{Sir Henry Royce}/AES.from Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/EAG. 1021 Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/EAG.2/ET.17.10.41. Regarding the attached letter from Ernest Turner Ltd. with reference to head lining, as they have only 5 yards in stock and as this is the shade we require, it will be advisable to accept the 5 yards in place of the 6 ordered as, by waiting until a further supply is obtained, we run a risk of not getting the correct shade, and possibly not getting delivery at all. Will you please arrange accordingly. Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/EAG. | ||
