| To EFC. from BJ. BJ16/H14.12.21. X1775 Inter-departmental Memoranda. C.J. has written from Paris and asked me to look through the Works carbons. You know he is anxious for officials at Derby to talk things over with each other, rather than to write memoranda. You will doubtless keep this in mind, as I believe you meet, or can see, the officials of each department daily. For instance, I am not sure if your memorandum EFC7/T11.11.21 to BY.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} re Bakelite products might not have been a matter of conversation with or telephone message to BY.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} B.J. | ||
