| To EJJ/JV. X1209 Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Swdl.{Len H. Swindell}3/KW.9.6.36. No. 5 Test House. Will you please instruct that the outside exhaust pipe from the Ph.III be lagged or shielded immediately, as since fitting up the new petrol tank stand, the tanks and the pipe come very close to each other. This is very urgently required. In the memo. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Swdl.{Len H. Swindell}17/JH.24.4.36, we asked for two bench vices as replacements of the existing which are in very poor condition. Mr. Peskett informs us that he has never had any instructions with regard to this job, will you therefore see that the necessary instructions are sent through.
