| 2 To HPS.{Horace Percy Smith - Experimental Factory Mgr} from Hm.{Capt. W. Hallam - Head Repairs} Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}4/ET.26.2.41. Here is a copy of a letter from the B.U.S.M., referring to the release of the 40.mm gun. If we are going to supply the barrel and the cradle is going to be new in any case, also the magazine and interlocking arrangements are going to be made at Derby, the total percentage of the gun which the B.U.S.M. are going to supply would appear to be insignificant. Shall we continue to worry them or shall we collect a few of the difficult pieces and make the rest ourselves? Hm.{Capt. W. Hallam - Head Repairs} | ||
