Silver Dawn 80 Hs {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} ' special 33.G.VII. Silver Ripple(Small prototype with 3.5 litre 6-cylinder engine) 1.R.1. The originals of all the specifications have been given PL. Nos. and have been filed in the Strong Room. In the case of the specifications done before September 1st. 1939, the originals are in the form of Zincs and are in the care of Ald. {F. Allwood - Experimental Design} as far as we are aware. There is no specification of B.V. production and as far as we can see there is no need for one in as much as there is a complete L.O.P. and complete index sheets to the L.O.P.'s. There remains therefore but to complete the specification for the development Comet PL.265 and we shall do this as soon as we receive the draft from Rm {William Robotham - Chief Engineer} /FJH. {Fred J. Hardy - Chief Dev. Engineer} [Signature] | ||
