| 1021 Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}1/ML. 20.4.41. C.W.Ward,Esq., Messrs Park Wards Ltd., 473, High Road, Willesden. N.W.10. Dear Ward, FABRICATION OF ALL-STEEL BODIES. Mr. Green tells me that you are in trouble because you cannot get the necessary current through your spot welding machine to make a satisfactory job. I do feel that if you are to be able to make Experimental bodies which are going to reproduce the quantity-produced product, it is absolutely imperative that you should be able to do satisfactory spot welding, and to rely on anybody else would slow up the job. I therefore suggest that you get whatever equipment you require. If there is any financial difficulty I am sure that Mr. Sidgreaves will agree that such a course is desirable and if it is necessary I will put the matter up to him. Yours sincerely, | ||
