| X6069 To Sft.{Mr Swift} from E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} c. Her. Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} By.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} RECEIVED E.1/HP.16.12.32. re Peregrine Switchbox and Instrument Patch. ---DEC-16-1932--- This confirms that we handed to you yesterday blueprints showing proposed design of switchbox for Peregrine incorporated in instrument patch. The switchbox has only one handle which controls both ignition and lighting. It is not the final design but shows more or less what we are aiming at, and is the latest information we can give you at the moment. The drawing of the patch intended for Peregrine is the one marked "B". It is only an outline drawing with the instruments named and shown in their intended positions, but we hope there is enough information given to get some idea of the economy resulting from the simplification in the switch design and from mounting it in the patch.
