Wor{Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager}3/GR{George Ratcliffe}22.1.32. Arising out of the information you wer able to give us in your memo, Sg{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} has now requested me to inform you he has decided that you can proceed with the standardisation of the R-R manufactured panel and its production can be put in hand. This, I take it, will therefore definitely ensure that this new R-R panel with Smith's instruments will be standardised on "U" series, and confirmation of that by you will now enable us to make our records complete. May I therefore now ask you to let me have in due course, but as soon as you conveniently can, a drawing showing the new instrument board layout for "U" series. Cx.{Major Len W. Cox - Advertising Manager} | ||
