| X5420? HS.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} SYI/H.{Arthur M. Hanbury - Head Complaints} 10/ 3. 27. 20 HP. NON-SQUEAKING DEVICE - N.Sch.2369. Referring to Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/RMZ/LG. 8.3.27. I am starting on the preliminary work necessary to enable us to introduce the above scheme. It cannot of course be done immediately; tools etc. will have to be prepared and costs obtained before any decision can be arrived at as to where it will be incorporated. In the meantime, we would remark that it is not standardized, and apparently no sheet has yet been started, but we take it Experimental Dept. will get this moving immediately.
