| To HPS.{Horace Percy Smith - Experimental Factory Mgr} from Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} c. to Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Cr.{Mr Cra???ster / Mr Chichester} 111- Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}3/AP.28.10.37. WEIGHT ANALYSES Owing to economies we have had to dispense with the services of the tester who was dealing with Weight Analyses. This means that Cra'ster is to run this work in with his ordinary testing. I should be glad if under the circumstances you could give him every possible assistance and try and arrange for him to do the weighing etc. in conjunction with your people in order to avoid duplicating the job. At the moment, of course, we are very anxious to get the weights of the first Wraith engine of the final type, and of the Bentley III. pieces as they become available.
