| X523 W/N - Br.{T. E. Bellringer - Repair Manager} Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Wym.{G. Harold Whyman - Experimental Manager}10/KW.1.11.35. Re 20/25 HP. Exhaust Manifold. Re memo. Br/M.9/A.31.10.35. I am very sorry for the delay in returning the original exhaust manifold for GBJ-18, but unfortunately this manifold was never sent to me in the first place, and it had apparently lost its way somewhere in the Repair Dept. They had recollections of receiving it as per advice note N/W.15925, but could not put their hands on it until this morning. However, it is being despatched to you to-day.
