| 1134 To [Redacted] c.c. [Redacted] c.c. Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} Will you please note that we now have stored in our Shardlow Garage shed No.112, five experimental cars, a large quantity of castings, special body jigs and a number of secret tank experimental pieces. It is vitally important that no person is allowed access to this garage from now onwards unless they can produce a written permission signed either by Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} or myself. In the past other persons have been allowed in this section because it housed some other pieces but this position does not now exist, it is purely and solely a branch of Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}'s department at the Clan Foundry. These instructions also apply to our other store houses at Shardlow namely shed Nos. 26, 34, 103 and 150. Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Wym.{G. Harold Whyman - Experimental Manager} | ||
