| To:- Les.{Ivan A. Leslie} from FJH{Fred J. Hardy - Chief Dev. Engineer}/MHR.{M. H. Rigby} c. Hdy{William Hardy}/SHK. JPB. Hdy{William Hardy}/HP. FJH{Fred J. Hardy - Chief Dev. Engineer}/MHR.{M. H. Rigby}1/MBL. 12.3.56. File No. 1804.S. Silver Cloud Radiator Shutters. ref: Les/JTW/HL. 17/JB. 9.3.56 and Marstons letter ER/RB.{R. Bowen} 8.3.56. We are quite agreeable to Marstons adopting the easy way out and making the top trailing edge the same shape as the bottom trailing edge with the consequent saving in cost. This will fully meet our requirements. Will you therefore please ask Marstons to put this alteration through on the 46 sets they are holding up and on future sets. Will you also please ask them to send a drawing or marked up print showing just what the alteration means on UE.1332,3,4 and 5 so that Hdy{William Hardy}/HP can keep up-to-date. FJH{Fred J. Hardy - Chief Dev. Engineer}/MHR.{M. H. Rigby} | ||
