re G.79930. CLUTCH LINERS.
---------------------

On the 20th ult., we ordered for Chassis
Repair Stock, 72 of the above blanks. On delivery,
we find that they have been produced in RAD.13 fabric
whereas the drawing calls for RAD.2 fabric, the latter
being still in use on Production Chassis.

We have ordered on four previous occasions
during last year and the correct material has been
used.

Will you please investigate why this departure
from standard has been made and arrange for the disposal
of the liners, at the same time putting in hand a further
supply of liners in the correct material.

We understand that Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} has recently ordered
a few of these liners in RAD.13 for experimental purposes
but no instructions have been given for this material to
be substituted for RAD.2 either for Repair or Production use.
