----------------------------------

Please note that we should modify the above material at once from 2031 B, which represents our standard quality, to Tube to .4 Carbon Steel, which should be specified as "T.5. Air Ministry".

Please also note that this tube should be heat-treated to give a Brinell of 249 to 269.
