| Em.2/ET. 5th June, 1941. Ministry of Aircraft Production, For the attention Thames House - Millbank, of Mr. W. Shackleton. LONDON. S.W.1. Dear Mr. Shackleton, Thanks for your letter of 26th May. I attach hereto a General Arrangement Drawing of the winch, together with technical description of the same. In query A.{Mr Adams} in your letter, I presume that "charges" should take the place of "onanges". The actual number of draughtsmen's and designer's hours spent on the project, including the work done before the specification was altered, will amount to approximately 3000 hours, by the time the job is completed. There will be some further detail drawing to be done, for which we will give you an estimate when the design is completed. We estimate that the design will be finished by the end of July. Yours faithfully, Enolosurus. | ||
