Handwritten notes: Mr Clarke urgent We will have to get an estimate of costs B.Y. from B.J. in view of this, from cost dept By 3-9-17 Typed content: BJ1/D30817. 30th August, 1917. X 3066 Re Standardisation Sheets. The points mentioned in your BY3/G27817 make this matter quite clear to me. Before returning the sheets however will you please tell me whether:- 1. The Air Board have agreed in writing to these alterations of design. 2. Whether you can give me a rough estimate of how much each alteration will cost per engine and how many engines it is going into, and what the total loss to us will therefore be, if any. as before signing on behalf of the Managing Director it is desirable that I should have some idea of the amount I am agreeing to, even though I quite appreciate that it is essential that every alteration should be made at our expense.
