| 120H Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} from Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}9/R.12.1.38. Use of Private Car on Rolls-Royce Business. Leslie is doing an awful lot of work contacting outside suppliers in an endeavour to get cost reduction. We have not sufficient Experimental cars to provide him with transport for this purpose, and, in consequence, he frequently uses his own car. Under the circumstances, we shall be glad if you will agree to his name being on the official list to receive private mileage payment. Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} | ||
