Cricklewood Depot.
High Tension Wire.

Re your memo Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Wst2/AP.7.6.37.

At the time I wrote re high tension wire complaint at Cricklewood. I was asked by the Stores man and Birket how they stood with regard to the Helsby high tension wire, as Birket had written to you and supplied, at your request samples of their stock, but had received no reply to further enquiries and they were having to use known faulty wire. A further letter was sent to you the day I reported. Maybe that was the memo you answered to Br.{T. E. Bellringer - Repair Manager}

Cricklewood were very dissatisfied, otherwise I should not have reported the matter.
