| RHO/S&T. Rev/Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} C. Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Grys. C. RHC.{R. H. Coverley - Production Engineer} C. HPS.{Horace Percy Smith - Experimental Factory Mgr} BY/HMBL/WB.{Mr Brazier/Mr Bell} 13.10.37. 627 WRAITH III CHASSIS - 6 sets. FRAME & FITTINGS - SEC:7000. In accordance with memo By6/M.7.10.37. we forward you herewith the following L.O.P :- FW.1384. Sht.2. L.O.P. Frame & Fittings. This is in accordance with the specification laid down on memo Rml/BA. 4.10.37. Since the schemes and details affecting Sec:7000 are not complete, we are unable to instruct the whole section, but to avoid any delay, we are issuing various sheets of the L.O.P. as they are compiled with parts that can definitely be ordered. Further sheets will be issued as completed. It will be noticed that certain parts included on Sheet 2 are prefixed with the letter Q, referring to the note "Supplied in Frame Assembly". We are not attaching the tracings of these parts to this memo, as we intend to issue them, together with all other parts supplied in the frame assembly, under a separate memo which will give a complete list of parts to make up the assembled frame supplied by Rubery Owens. Until this specification is to hand (which will be within the next few days), we suggest that the parts prefixed Q should not be ordered, to avoid any confusion with Rubery Owens. The remaining parts, however, should be instructed for 6 sets, and we attach to RHC{R. H. Coverley - Production Engineer}/CAR's copy, tracings of the following parts new to production, together with tracing of L.O.P. FW.1384 (Sheet 2); FW.781-5, FW.897, FW.1112, FW.1232, & FW.1282/3. Kindly issue prints to Expl:Dept.only. BY/HEB.{H. Biraben} | ||
