RECD 4.XI.31 PEREGRINE. To avoid waste and delay it is understood that a copy of any drawing of new parts that was in a suitable condition for transfer should be sent to WS. for approval by E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} before, or at the same time, as it was issued to the detailing section. JAPAN 7. Also, prints must be sent of all parts detailed from WW. schemes at the same time, or before issue to Works. EXPERIENCE. We fear it will cost much in money and delay if alterations are required to the parts later to correct misunderstandings which always arise through the original scheme drawings not containing all the information that we have collected. The drawings you send will also be useful for design work in hand. E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} | ||
