Dear Robotham, In reply to yours of the 10th unfortunately the Cable referred to cannot be utilised elsewhere - in view of your experience in any case I would not think of using it in other directions and A.T. will just have to cut their loss. I rather wanted to come along to see you for the purpose of a discussion on the Pump if you have completed your tests. We could possibly discuss other matters at the same time. Would next week be convenient? Sincerely yours, Charles W. Macindo Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} The tests on the oil pump have be completed. The fuel pump tests will be finished tomorrow morning. I am going to get the results tomorrow afternoon. H/H.{Arthur M. Hanbury - Head Complaints} | ||
