| Y 1245 W/P. To Sr. from Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}8/AP.11.1.37. LARGER OIL PUMPS. Attached is a copy of a note from the Works, indicating when you will get larger oil pumps. I am afraid that, generally speaking, we spoil you by giving you experimental parts and in consequence you do not realise how long it takes to get a modification into Production.
