| 1280 Les.{Ivan A. Leslie} Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}2/ML.28.3.40. With reference to the attached note, .it appears it would be fortunate if we had to use a little of the material which we are buying for chassis, for aviation work as that would enable us to use a suitable Licence Number. I would like to have a talk to you to decide exactly how this can be done. Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} Will you please return Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}'s note after you have gained all the information you need from it. | ||
