COPY. X.3642 Attached BN{W.O. Bentley / Mr Barrington}/W 20.3.20 To Mr. Wormald. 22.3.20. X.3642 Re. E.2240 Elbows. X 3436. I would like to suggest that if possible this pieces be made from stampings instead of at present cast. It looks anything but a good job and we are having to machine inside the elbow owing to the bad casting. It might be possible to stamp these in two halves and weld together. Please note. J.B.
