| c. to Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} Gun We have been requested to make a finished scheme for the mounting of the 40 m.m. gun on the Oerlikon mounting type 3SLs of which we now have full particulars. Before we can start we shall need an arrangement drawing showing the external configuration of the gun. We would be very glad if you would arrange to have sent to us drawings which will show the external shape by return as we do not wish to loose any time. EV.{Ivan Evernden - coachwork} | ||
