Coverley - Production Engineer} 1/RHG.2.6.37. I have looked into this matter and it appears that the system is that depots do not requisition supplies until a depot sheet has been issued. This depot sheet was issued yesterday and received this morning, so that you will be receiving requisitions in due course. In the meantime, however, I understand that Cricklewood have half-a-dozen sets to go on with. At the moment there is some doubt as to whether certain holes have been drilled correctly and this is being attended to by Hd. {Mr Hayward / Mr Huddy} C. | ||
