| 1204 To EJJ. from Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}16/MH.{M. Huckerby}15.12.39. Owing to the length of time which it takes to get the Municipal services going, we should like you to get the necessary machinery in motion to get 2 telephone lines to the Clan Foundry, and also ascertain what is the state of the electricity supply and what difficulty, there is, if any, to get what we require. The requirements of the Laboratory are given on the attached sheet. Those of the Machine Shop are likely to be 60 kilowatts, 200 volts, 3 phase. Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} | ||
