3rd. PEREGRINE SILENCER.

Will you please build this up to Sketch Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}730.
The main differences from the last one built up are :-

(1) Downtake pipe split and front expansion box re-introduced.
(2) Fewer baffles in the main silencer.
(3) An adjustable baffle, controlled by rods passing through the rear silencer plate.

Will you please fix this up as soon as possible.

We should like the silencer to be detachable in the same way as the one you previously made to E.10065 until we have finally settled the position of the baffles. This greatly facilitates our experiments.
