| Contd:- in hand, with the exception of the housing for the ball bearing, will be quite O.K. if scheme 338 is adhered to. Would you kindly let us know what your propositions in regard to this particular question are? A blueprint of the original scheme was despatched to Lucas on June 24th for their criticism, but the fault did not attract their attention until this week. This has undoubtedly caused a big delay for, in regard to the electrical starter, for which delay Lucas are as much responsible as ourselves, in as much as they did not see the fault earlier on, nor did they indicate the position of the windings on their original drawing submitted.
