| O/NOTE Ve. From Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} G.{Mr Griffiths - Chief Accountant / Mr Gnapp} Ev.{Ivan Evernden - coachwork} Derby copy to: I sent Frise a copy of the installation drawings for the 40 mm. in the Beaufighter, and asked him to let us have any comments. I attach a copy of the reply I have had from him. I suggest that you let Bristol's turret man examine the half inch gun independently of a visit to see the 40 mm. mounting as the Beaufighter installation may not be ready for a few weeks.
