| 1202 To By.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} from Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}9/AP.20.8.37 With reference to HPS.{Horace Percy Smith - Experimental Factory Mgr}4/VS.{J. Vickers}13.8.37. Whilst HPS.{Horace Percy Smith - Experimental Factory Mgr} is undoubtedly trying to help on this job,it would appear to us he has really got too much to do to bother with this type of Metallurgical Analysis.
