RECEIVED.

Wd{Mr Wood/Mr Whitehead}11/NJ11.11.21.

Appointment of Mr.H.Royce.

To prevent misunderstanding, I deem it advisable to announce that Mr.H.Royce (Roy{Sir Henry Royce}) has been appointed to the position of Buyer.

This does not affect the position occupied by myself (Wd{Mr Wood/Mr Whitehead}) as Head of Supply Department, except in so far that the issuing of enquiries and placing of orders for materials is transferred to Roy.{Sir Henry Royce}

As in the past, all instructions from Drawing Office and Shipping Office and all requisitions for supplies should be sent to me (Wd{Mr Wood/Mr Whitehead}), also all requests to urge deliveries and all complaints respecting defective materials.

Wd.{Mr Wood/Mr Whitehead}
