Attached to this letter are some notes which I have made on our conversation on the telephone this afternoon, concerning the mounting for the type BL. gun. I am sorry Mr. Robotham was not available when you telephoned yesterday and also that I should be unable to get through to Bath until today. Immediately on Mr. Robotham's return tomorrow he will receive these notes. I am enclosing a print of wrl.136 which shows the armour shields which will be fitted to the first 3 type BL. guns on the non-elevating mounting. Yours faithfully, H.I.F.
