To Da.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} from Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}

X4612.

Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}1/AD20.11.31.

I'm sorry that the figure given in Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}5/MJ14.3.31 as the weight added to the chassis by the ribbed drums was half the correct amount. One has to take weights oneself to be sure of getting the correct facts, which have been circulated in the memo.
