| RM{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}:9/MH.{M. Huckerby} 24th. October, 1939. H.{Arthur M. Hanbury - Head Complaints} Clark, Esq., Castle Bromwich Aeroplane Factory, Kingsbury Road, Erdington, BIRMINGHAM, 24. Dear Mr. Clark, I don't quite understand your letter. When I saw Thacker he said that he was meeting you the next day and so I said that I would like to come over some time and have a look at your Factory at Castle Bromwich and would he ask you when it would be convenient. I can assure you that neither Swift nor I have forgotten you. The main point is that we have got to produce the engines for the machines you are fabricating, and upon your progress depends the need for accelerating our output. I gather that almost any day will suit and, therefore, propose to give you a ring. I might bring Hives over with me. Yours sincerely, | ||
