Attached is a copy of a report from Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/RH.{R. Hollingworth} on the oil pumps that failed in the A.I.D. test at Derby.

The fact that these pumps are so easily inter-changeable is somewhat disturbing and perhaps you would kindly warn the Assembly Shop of the situation.
