Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/RC.{R. Childs}12/JH.31139.

Mr. West has notified us that he is moving from his Laboratory in Mr. Smedleys department. We are handicapped in our section for two reasons, (1) we cannot lock the place up at night or at week-ends, because of the works transformer being enclosed therein, (2) Now we are having to expand, we have not sufficient room. We have already lost several articles due to the place being open all the time. Mr. Robotham has asked me to make an application for the chassis section to be transferred to the aero-section laboratory when Mr. West moves to his new quarters.
