Thank you for your Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}9/KW14.3.36., I have spoken to G.H. and I understand that the pits we have here are not long enough for his job and also they are situated in the main hall. I understand he is coming up to Derby to-day and will discuss the matter fully with you. In the meantime he is investigating the possibility of some of the buildings opposite my office which we are shortly taking over, being converted to suit your requirements. If he considers these suitable no doubt you will take the matter up with the Administration. J.H.E POST 17 Received | ||
