COPY. Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/TAS.{T. Allan Swinden} from Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} c. Ev.{Ivan Evernden - coachwork} Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}12/ML.26.9.40. Many thanks for Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/TAS.{T. Allan Swinden}6/JH.20.9.40. Unless the power required to operate the gun is very much less than we anticipate, the hydraulic accumulator does not appear to be a very attractive proposition.
