| To Roy. {Sir Henry Royce} from Rm {William Robotham - Chief Engineer} /Std. Rm {William Robotham - Chief Engineer} /Std.1/MH. {M. Huckerby} 15.10.38. Attached is copy of letter we have sent to Messrs. John Marstons. You will note that we have suggested they revise their charges for the experimental B.III and B.50 radiators, for the figures previously given are based on making these units at a loss in the expectation of getting the order for B.III and B.50 radiators. We wish to do this because we are not satisfied with Messrs. Marston's quotation, and are accordingly getting in touch with other radiator firms via Roy {Sir Henry Royce} /Les.
