| To Dy. {F R Danby} from Fl. c. to Cr. {Mr Cra’ster / Mr Chichester} [crossed out] c. to Rg. {Mr Rowledge} [crossed out] c. to Hs. {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} [crossed out] c. to DI [crossed out] Handwritten: Hs {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} X1360 External Finish of Aero Engines. It was agreed at Derby that the Cadmium plated and stove-enamelled finish would be adopted as standard and that this would not add to the cost of the engine in production. It is proposed to introduce the improved finish as a modification on engines returned for re-conditioning or bringing up to date. In such cases a small charge of £12 - £15 an engine would be involved. [Signature] Fl. | ||
