During the course of our work on the experimental chassis beds, we are dependant on rubber tubing for many of our tests. The same applies to the aero beds, from whom up to the present time we have obtained our supply, but only because relatively our requirements are small. When we get to the Clan, we shall have to be responsible for our own requirements in cases like the above. Will you, therefore, order the following: 12 ft. - 1¾" internal diameter rubber tube. 12 " - 1⅝" " " 12 " - 1½" " " 12 " - 1" " " 12 " - ¾" " " 12 " - ⅝" " " 6 " - 5/16" " " Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/CTS.{C.
