| Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/FJH.{Fred J. Hardy - Chief Dev. Engineer} from Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} H50 Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}2/R.14.3.38. We understand that a new yoke piece has been designed and detailed which overcomes fouls and permits the full steering lock being obtained on B.III. We presume that you will watch the situation closely to see:- (a) machining is stopped on the obsolete yoke pieces, and that no more are produced; (b) the new yoke piece is pushed along.
