| HPS.{Horace Percy Smith - Experimental Factory Mgr} from Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} O.{Mr Oldham} Ve. 3 A gun mounting isbeing sent over from Coventry tomorrow, Friday July 5th. marked for the attention of the Experimental Department. As soon as this gun mounting arrives we should be glad if you could contact the Armament Section and have it transported to the Shop at Sinfin. This is a naval mounting which we hope can be adapted to take the 40 mm. gun. The programme is to get it fitted up on the range as soon as possible and test it, after any necessary design modifications have been made. Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} | ||
