| 1109. W/S. To Hn.{F. C. Honeyman - Retail orders} from Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/FD.{Frank Dodd - Bodies} Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/FD.{Frank Dodd - Bodies}4/AP.17.3.37. In reply to your memo re snow chains. Hn.{F. C. Honeyman - Retail orders}4/HK.{Col. T. Harker - Sales}16.3.37. the attached report will explain. Parsons have not made any stock of these new chains, but they will be supplied very quickly to your order. Owing to the fact that they are special for R.R. perhaps you will be ordering the chains yourself. We have not yet submitted a sample 25/30 wheel to Parsons, will you arrange this or would you prefer us to do it? Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/FD.{Frank Dodd - Bodies} | ||
