| Secret. Refd. Copies. c. Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} X5310 BYS/H.{Arthur M. Hanbury - Head Complaints} 3.3.25. 'INDIA' FOUR SPEED BOX. Referring to BJ10/H.{Arthur M. Hanbury - Head Complaints} 2.3.25. in accordance with CJ's instructions, the material for the box is being machined in parallel with the experimental work being carried out on same, and unless this is done, there is not the slightest hope of meeting Sales' requirements in regard to deliveries. The whole of Wop's estimates for delivery of "India", and also my more recent estimates for the delivery of Four Wheel Brakes for "India", have all been based upon the agreement by CJ. that we should produce the new parts in parallel with the experimental work.
