| Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} from Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} Memo Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}4/ML.8.3.41. 1210 We find that in connection with the tank job we are having to do frequent runs between Leyland and Duffield with manufactured parts, owing to the fact that Leyland's are making the pieces and we are assembling them. This is tying up lorries and we have no spare capacity. We should therefore like to purchase a trailer, costing £18 - 0s- 0d. which we can use on this job. Unless we hear to the contrary we will order one of these. Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}, | ||
