We note it is essential that you should have this body to carry out certain experiments, quite apart from the question of speed, and that the present body is useless for this purpose. Of course, if this is so, we must put the work in hand but it seemed to us to be an expensive method of arriving at the kind of body you require. We presume you are satisfied that Barkers proposals are satisfactory. We enclose herewith blue print, together with Barkers specification, and shall be pleased to receive your remarks. C. | ||
