Harold Whyman - Experimental Manager} from Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} Instructions to Shop 1373 Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}16/ML.25.4.41. T.C.Worth of British Filters Ltd., Market Harborough, (Aircraft House) is carrying some tests out for me on filters that he is supplying for the tank and to help him with these, I am proposing to loan him a Merlin wheelcase complete. Roy{Sir Henry Royce} Speed should have this wheelcase this afternoon. The sole object of sending the wheelcase is that Worth should have the oil pumps and an easy means of driving them. Could you call in and collect the wheel-case and have it sent off to Worth by passenger train on loan, making sure that there are enough pieces in it to enable him to drive the pump. p.p.Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} | ||
