As requested by Hs {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} /Wst., we have produced a new armature having 29 slots ; will you please put one in hand in accordance with Armature Assembly D.73708. All the material can be obtained from 40-50 Production to L.O.P. D.73571, except the following :-

The number of armature slots needs a new Commutator to L.O.P. D.73710, and the majority of the parts called for on that Part List are standard with the exception of :-

D.73709 - Commutator Bar.

Blue prints of these new pieces are attached hereto.
