| 260 To C. from Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}1/BT.{Capt. J. S. Burt - Engineer}12.1.41. TRIALS CAR NO. B-20-AW. With reference to C5/C9.1.41. I am afraid it will be quite impossible to complete modifications to this chassis by Friday, January 17th. One modification consists of stripping the gearbox and machining some of the parts; under the circumstances, you can imagine how difficult it is to get this done. We hope to let you have the car back in three weeks time. Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} | ||
