| 261 D/BP W.H. c to Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} Hd{Mr Hayward/Mr Huddy}/Sd18/W19.3.40. Chassis No. B. 33-DK - G.L.Henriques. -------------------------- Sheet No.22946 was issued by you on the 6th inst., for the supply of a new cylinder head and gasket to W. R.{Sir Henry Royce} Sanders Ltd., of Buxton, for the above car. The Owner has now apparently been in touch with Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} regarding the question of delivery of this head, and after carefully looking into the matter we have informed Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}that the earliest date on which we can supply a suitable head will be April 22nd. In view of this he has suggested that we should ask W. R.{Sir Henry Royce} Sanders to return the damaged head to us with a view to determining whether or not it would be possible to effect a satisfactory repair, even if it is only of a temporary nature. Will you please, therefore, arrange for the damaged head to be returned as soon as possible, and when received will you issue instructions for the head to be examined, and repaired if possible.
