Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} c.HPS.{Horace Percy Smith - Experimental Factory Mgr} c. G/Rb.{R. Bowen} c. EJJ. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/LS.1/T5.7.37. We attach hereto an outline of the proposed new system for budgetting Experimental Expenditure. We hope to introduce it on August 1st. It is vital that before the system is launched every department concerned should have a clear idea of how it will be affected, and be organised to deal with it, and a meeting will probably be called to discuss the matter in the near future.
