| 1282 To Rm {William Robotham - Chief Engineer} /AA. {D. Abbot Anderson} from Rm {William Robotham - Chief Engineer} /RJTH. Rm {William Robotham - Chief Engineer} /RJTH.1/JH.15.5.40. Following our conversation yesterday afternoon with reference to the petrol I have used from April 8th. up to yesterday for travelling to Nightingale Road and Park Leys from Clan Foundry, I have gone carefully into the mileage involved which works out at approx. 320 miles. My petrol consumption on trips of this sort is approx. 22 m.p.g. giving a consumption of 15 gallons on companys business. I shall appreciate any assistance you can give me to recover coupons for this amount. In the meantime I am getting in touch with Rm. {William Robotham - Chief Engineer} to P.T.O. | ||
