UNION CONNECTIONS.

Before these are made in quantity for stock they should again be lightened, because exactly the same should be used for aero work. A good mechanic, say Mr. Haldenby, and HS. {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} will pass the models.

This is an urgent matter for E's prompt attention.

They will be a valuable addition to our standard practice, and should at once be available. Already some years have been spent in developing.
