| 446 To HPS.{Horace Percy Smith - Experimental Factory Mgr} From Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/AFM.{Anthony F. Martindale} c. Roy{Sir Henry Royce}/Les.{Ivan A. Leslie} Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/AFM.{Anthony F. Martindale}2/MH.{M. Huckerby}29.10.38. B.III FRONT SUSPENSION. Will you please make 3 pairs of Torque arm sockets and caps in malleable iron (FB, 3047/8). The present pattern for cast steel (at Gabriels) should be obtained and sent to Leys. Roy{Sir Henry Royce}/les has found that the cost saving in malleable is considerable, when compared to a forging, and the strength is bound to be satisfactory.
