Untraced

A six-figure number that reads as a telephone number is written in the top-left corner, with “531 C” in the top-right. The date received is “15 Aug” with no year given anywhere on the sheet, so none is recorded here; no deposit or delivery promise is noted. The pump pegs line reads “See sketch. Yes”, but no sketch survives with the sheet. The head angle was first written 76°, struck through for 73°, and the surname is read as Saunby from a loose hand and could be otherwise.
