| Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Gry.{Shadwell Grylls} 105/2 Roy{Sir Henry Royce}/AW.6/IB. 22.10.37. On October 5th, we placed an order with Messrs. Lendrum & Hartman Ltd. for a "Cadillac" 60" Wheel and Wheel nut. They now report that they have no alternative than to order direct from the Buick factory, and that in this case it will be approximately 4/5 weeks before the Wheel is available. Is it necessary to leave this order open, or can a suitable Wheel be obtained elsewhere. Roy.{Sir Henry Royce} [Signature] | ||
