| 406 HPS. {Horace Percy Smith - Experimental Factory Mgr} from Rm {William Robotham - Chief Engineer} /AFM. {Anthony F. Martindale} Rm {William Robotham - Chief Engineer} /AFM {Anthony F. Martindale} 1/R.31.8.38. B.III REAR EQUALIZER - SCD.580. Will you please make 4 pieces Exs.896 in Nickel Steel. The type with 4 S/M pieces is too flexible, and we think the single piece of S/M might fail in fatigue. Rm {William Robotham - Chief Engineer} /AFM. {Anthony F. Martindale} | ||
