Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/RC.{R. Childs}11/JH.26.6.39. OUTSIDE SUPPLIES OF ELECTRICAL UNITS. We would like to point out that the present rate at which orders, placed outside for electrical units are carried out, the makers appear to require any time up to ten weeks for delivery. This applies both to new units and units returned for modification. In order, therefore, to keep to schedule, we would like to urge, that as soon as a specification or modification is decided upon, the required data is made available, and the necessary orders placed with as little delay as possible. At the moment we are particularly anxious to get the remainder of the orders for Silver Ripple 1.R.1. placed. These were instructed in By/RD.1/B.19.6.39. Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/RC.{R.
