Title
Dorman Long & Co. Ltd. - General Managers file on Auckland Harbour Bridge, Auckland, New Zealand
Date
Dec 1934 - Aug 1939
Description

Correspondence, internal memos and telegrams regarding the proposed building of a road bridge at Auckland. The bulk of the correspondence details the pursuance of financial backing for the project, and also the need to gain official support from New Zealand. These aims were not achieved and the project fell through. Several of the telegrams were sent in code (such is the important nature of the information contained within). The key to the code is present within the file.
