To RHC. {R. H. Coverley - Production Engineer}

Hs {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} /Std.18/JH. 8.10.36.

We hand you herewith one flexible blade fan assembly (Bentley type) and one 25/30 hub. Will you please fit the fan blade assembly to the 25/30 hub.

This necessitates reaming out the eight flange holes to take 2.B.A. bolts instead of the present 3.B.A. ones, and rechecking the balance of the complete fan.

Hs {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} /Std.
