| /245 W/P. Sr. from Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}2/R.23.6.38. Dear Sr., Streamlined Car. I am now definitely coming over to be present when this car is on test, and should, therefore, be very grateful if you would keep me in touch with its progress. In particular, it would be interesting to know how long you expect to hold the car before you hand it over to the customer. I should like to avoid spending much time waiting for the car to be finished if this is possible. In view of your remarks that the car will be ready for test on Tuesday, the 28th, I have provisionally arranged to fly over on Monday afternoon, either by the 4.55. British Airways, or the 12.30 Imperial Airways, but will wire confirmation when you let me know when the car is likely to be ready. Yours sincerely, | ||
