.Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} [Signature: Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}] I presume you are dealing with this. [Initial] Major Bulman rang up at 5.55 p.m. today, saying that he had received information that some R.R. drawings were being sent to America, and he must know to whom they had been sent and why. He thought the name of the sender was Steinwell?, and wondered if the drawings were being sent to Mr.Olley,. I transferred to Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} and I believe Major Bulman eventually contacted Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} at his private address. D.K. [Shorthand notes] | ||
