As soon as you have tested out the Phosphor Bronze Pieces for the above, and are therefore able to formulate some ideas on the matter, as to whether the scheme is right or not, we should like to have your impression on the subject, as unquestionably it is a piece for which we should put the dies in hand, even before it is standardized, providing you can see fairly clearly that there is a big chance of the pieces being standardised. The Production of dies will be one of the longest factors in settling when these particular designs can be brought in service. BY.{R.W.
