| Elec. 6000 Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}9/MH.{M. Huckerby} 28th. February, 1940. O.Lucas, Esq., Messrs. Joseph Lucas Ltd., Great King Street, BIRMINGHAM, 19. Dear Lucas, Many thanks for your letter of February 27th. I am very glad that you are willing to co-operate with us in solving this problem. We have already been working on the job for 6 months so a few days more will not prove disastrous. We will therefore wait for Barrington. Incidentally, our diagnosis that oxidation has a bearing on the problem may be entirely wrong; you will be able to form your own conclusions as soon as you have the evidence. Yours sincerely, | ||
