With reference to your note, BY/JH1/H.7619. It was agreed at the last Progress Meeting that the outer plug and inner plug should be of heat treated Nickel Steel and the sliding piece, F.4969 was modified as regards the parts which should be left soft; and it was agreed that this alteration should be effected forthwith, as it was considered unnecessary in this case to make experimental pieces. Will you please modify your instructions accordingly. Bn.{W.O. Bentley / Mr Barrington} | ||
