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}
