Edwards} 3/GH.3.4.40., we understand from HPS {Horace Percy Smith - Experimental Factory Mgr} /HH. that existing specifications for pumps to SCD.1398. are incomplete, and we should be glad if Rm {William Robotham - Chief Engineer} /HH. would arrange to go over this list and re-issue the L.O.P. It would appear that existing specifications for the next engines include pumps of the old type, and we should like Rm {William Robotham - Chief Engineer} /OTS. to incorporate the SCD.1398 pump on all future engines including B.40. We suggest that HPS {Horace Percy Smith - Experimental Factory Mgr} /HH. order up six sets of parts. Rm {William Robotham - Chief Engineer} /ESA (Chr. a'bard) | ||
