Honeyman - Retail orders}) re- 20/25 h.p. Instrument Board. Cx{Major Len W. Cox - Advertising Manager}11/KW4.2.32 We thank you for your BY/Cgh{W Clough}6/Cl.2.32, and note that you have been able to reduce the depth of the panel by ½". Would it not be possible for you to reduce the depth still slightly more if the two instruments at the bottom of the panel were set a little wider apart ? This would not break the symmetrical layout, but it might interfere with the position of the fittings for the hidden lighting scheme. Subject to this possible change we otherwise agree to D.Scheme 525 as enclosed with your memo in question. Re the illumination of this panel, can we be informed of the scheme you propose to embody for that purpose ? Cx.{Major Len W. Cox - Advertising Manager} RECEIVED 5 FEB 32 | ||
