| x327 Mr. Grylls, (Exp. Dept) Roy{Sir Henry Royce}/AW.9/IB. 7.10.36. We have received a message from Messrs. J.{Mr Johnson W.M.} Thompson Motor Pressings this morning to the effect that you have discussed with them the making of Phantom III Sidemembers in a thinner gauge material, but so far they have no authority to proceed with such Frames, neither do they know what number to produce. If this work has to be put in hand, will you please issue instructions to this Dept. so that the official order can be placed. Roy.{Sir Henry Royce} | ||
