| To Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} from Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/HH. c.c. Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/SWF. Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/HH.1/SW.4.11.40. 3 I have temporarily held up work in connection with the tool box on account of insufficient information. As one attempt has been made to produce this box, a further attempt seems futile until we are sure of the contents of the tool kit. The outstanding parts are as follows :- Definite information of the barrel brush (complete with handle). Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/CTS{C. Trot Salt - Carburation} has this job in hand. 1 gallon Liquid container (Littleover are dealing with this matter. Admiralty spanners to replace Rolls-Royce jaw spanners (Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/CTS{C. Trot Salt - Carburation} has promised to progress this item). Clearing tool and handle (This is in the Design stage at Littleover). Since these points are at present in the air, I propose to wait until we are supplied with some definite information.
