It was decided to place an order for 100 sets of instruments with Smiths. R.R. to make the patch itself. To get this cleared in time Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} will issue standardisation sheets at once. BY.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} P.S. It was agreed that on these units we could afford to wait a month further, as the parts can all be put on at the finish, and are not basic factors from which the erection of a chassis starts. | ||
