We send you herewith drawing: LeC.3707 showing some modifications to the boards. This has come about owing to our designs - LeC's 3690 and 3691 not being sufficiently stiff. What we have done is to make the rear board rest on an angle fixed to the front board. The rear part of the board is stiffened by resting on the exhaust cutout brackets. These alterations can be incorporated on the experimental set in the Shop. E/JNR.{Charles L. Jenner} Drawing to BY.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} Print to RHC.{R. H.
