30aa{D. Abbot-Anderson} also in 60aa{D. Abbot-Anderson} Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/IMW.{Ivan M. Waller - Head of Chateauroux} from Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}21/R.15.7.37. 32-EX & WRAITH CAR. Owing to health troubles in his Family, E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} will not be using 32-EX next week. He may possibly be borrowing one of the cars to do a business trip to Germany in August, but this at present is uncertain. It will not be necessary, therefore, to interfere with your tests on 32-EX at Chateauroux. The Wraith car will come out as arranged, and will be brought to Chateauroux. I expect that Roberts will bring it out. Obviously, we do not expect you to do full mileage on both cars, but we cannot let you have any more assistance until after the holidays. Roberts may stay out there to the end of the week. Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} | ||
