Sidgreaves - MD}11/EL4.3.54 Thanks for E.5/HP.9.3.34 and for the information given. I will put this amongst my papers to speak to you about when I am next with you. In connection with the RR layout we think it might be rather better to put the group with the clock and electrical gauges central on the instrument board, the speedometer more in the position occupied on your print by the panel and then the switch box to come a little more to the left. The actual position, however, is not of serious import at the moment as I imagine that the main/ thing is to get new type instruments both for the RR and Bentley made up as soon as you can so that we can see them.
