INDUCTION PIPES. In our list of urgent jobs we ommitted induction pipes. Attached is a list of the pipes which have been instructed and are urgently required. You will note that although the promised dates for the patterns were very poor, in the case of RE 176, 2 months, these should all be finished by now. We shall be very glad if you can expedite the machining of these pieces. Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} | ||
