Rd2/57A/M5. 4. 21.

X.4289. SWITCHBOARD TO ASSEMBLY DRG. D.1171. X3760.
EFC {E. Fowler Clarke - Electrical Engineer} 1/T14.3.21.

We have estimated the cost of manufacturing this design on a production basis, and the cost without profit comes out at £5. 6. 0 each.

This cost must be regarded meanwhile as provisional, as Wor {Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager} is looking into the details of the job, particularly the labour, and he advises us that he hopes to be able to effect certain economies.

We will issue a revised cost later on showing the effect of any alterations instituted by Wor. {Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager}
