We feel that the electrical work would go better if there were a little more co-operation between the experimental design and production. In the case of an investigation of a failure we think it only fair that Childs should be given the opportunity of seeing the unit when it arrives in the Factory, and watching it through various stages of dissemble even though such work may for some reason be carried out in the Production Dept.
