| 1280 To RHC.{R. H. Coverley - Production Engineer} from Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Std. Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Std.4/AP.31.5.37 We believe that there is a shaping block (to HA.10176) for the Bentley shell in the Radiator Shop which is not in use - having been slightly damaged by the outside firm who shape our shells at present. We should like to lend this block to Messrs Marston Ltd for about a week - they are sending a van over on Wednesday for a supply of standard 25/30 matrices and we should like you to let this block go back with the van. They also require the Bentley radiator top tank which we have ordered - will you arrange to let the van driver have the top shell shaping block, with the top tank and three Ph. III. radiator matrix units which have been returned off customers cars and which we will hand to you. Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Std. | ||
