As will be seen, we have utilised a new method of reproduction, which enables us to issue a complete set of LOP's to each Department. This will avoid the necessity for all Departments referring to the Design Drawing Office blue- prints. To enable a sufficient number of copies to be produced, will you kindly estimate the needs of your Department and give us an early reply. The figure returned will form the official issue, and we will then keep that number of copies up-to-date. It should be noted that the new LOP. will replace the Works Supervision Sheet. BY/Ald.{F. Allwood - Experimental Design} will produce and store the zinc sheets. from which the LOP. sheets are produced. BY/NS{Norman Scott} | ||
