Engineer} ? 1022- [Handwritten diagonally]: F.A.K. Rippletto Frame. On April 17th, Messrs. John Thompson wrote for a complete detail drawing for the Rippletto Frame. At the Chassis conference held on the 20th of April, it was agreed that prints would be available on the 22nd, up to now, the first of May, no prints have been received. We feel that some special effort should be made to enable John Thompsons to proceed with the work. Will all concerned please give this their urgent attention.
