Several designs are standing still for information as to the best leverages. For instance the epicyclic pressure dis-tributing gear is finished but awaiting the result of the exper-iments we presume you are making on the existing gear converted in accordance with some instruction we recently sent you. I tell you this not to worry you but to indicate to you the reason why we are not sending through modified designs of parts which we know are going to be altered.
