| Secret. X5500 ef. [struck through] e.H. [struck through] e.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} Wor.{Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager} c. Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} AUTHORISATION SHEET NO.4. TO INTRODUCE A NECESSARY CHANGE INTO "INDIA" AT ONCE. I find that we have omitted to instruct to the works the modified floorboards for "India". These are not fitted until the chassis is actually being erected, and the urgency at the moment is not an important issue. I am therefore writing you on the matter to get your consent to incorporating same. They should have been instructed previously, but Wor.{Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager} agrees that this will not cause delay as the material is all in stock, and it is merely a question of getting it cut to length. This also affects the gap plates, in as much as the depth of a slot in same has to be increased slightly. BY.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} [Handwritten signature: By] | ||
