| To G/Rb.{R. Bowen} 7263 Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/JBD.{John B. Dixon - Fuel Systems}8/JH.6.5.37. Will you please let me have the approximate cost of making S.U. magnet pot in mild steel, to S.U. drawing Part No.1791 which you already have. As there are no dies available they would have to be turned out of the solid. These have previously been made in the experimental dept. and they may have records of hours required.
