| 1822 To Wn. from Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}2/ET.13.3.41. AIR RAID DAMAGE TO SKID PAN. This piece of experimental apparatus was damaged in a raid which took place early in February. The damage was due to a high explosive bomb. It will almost certainly necessitate relaying 20% of this piece of concrete, which was originally 80 yards in diameter and cost £4000. We suggest that the Commissionnaire should be responsible for reporting raid damage to property belonging to the Company. The skid pan has not being used since the war started, as it had to be camouflaged. Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} | ||
