RM{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}, Thanks for your note. I fully appreciate the position. I do not discuss these matters with anyone. Checking up cylinder wear on American cars seems somewhat difficult to arrange in suitable batches. Hired cars being kept on the move. I can arrange to get the car over a period so now I suggest we get a reliable man from "K" to measure for you. I can then easily arrange for him to get a a car at an hour's notice! This I think you will agree will save considerable travelling expense. Do you think Hitler will settle our programme for us? Hy{Tom Haldenby - Plant Engineer} | ||
