| Y 1129 Ed.{J. L. Edwards} From Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}13/MJ.28.10.36. Wd.{Mr Wood/Mr Whitehead} is suggesting that we should have the whole of the centre section of the old garage for our Bentley Single Cylinder Unit equipment. There is no question of sharing it with the motoring rig. If we go in there there will be no motoring rig. He suggests that in order to facilitate the changeover the necessary electrical switchboards etc. could be fitted up in that test house before you start to move. It appears to me that this suggestion would give you a great deal more room and better working conditions. The question is whether the move will take a long time and upset you. We should like to have your views on the subject. Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} | ||
