| LID {A. J. Lidsey} X1140 To Cx. {Major Len W. Cox - Advertising Manager} from E. {Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} c.c. for C. EN. HY. {Tom Haldenby - Plant Engineer} Ha. [Struck through] re 40/50 HP. Bonnet Panel Stops. Replying to your UX.12/RH. {R. Hollingworth} 22.9.33, the above job has unfortunately had to be shelved in favour of more urgent work. As a matter of fact it is not so easy as may appear to design the necessary stiffness into it without making a heavy clumsy job, but we are looking into this now. We shall, therefore, have to ask you to be patient for a little while longer while we get the job right for another trial. E. {Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} | ||
