| 1132 To Les.{Ivan A. Leslie} c.c. G/JWH. Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Wym.{G. Harold Whyman - Experimental Manager}1/SW.5.3.40. Exhaust Systems. Order Numbers 52469 & 52482. ? With reference to your memo Les.1/B.4.3.40, it would appear that Ternecoated Steel is approximately £150 per ton cheaper than Staybrite Steel, and we would therefore like to experiment with some of it on our cars. Could you obtain for us 2 sheets 84" x 36", 16SWG, Baldwin's Genuine Ternecoated Steel Sheet. We appreciate the fact that it may be difficult to obtain this small amount, but it will be ample for our use experimentally. I am enclosing all our information regarding this material.
