| 45770 BYL/H.{Arthur M. Hanbury - Head Complaints} 25. 2. 25. "INDIA" Now that we have clearly defined what "India" is to be, and have issued drawings for all the new details, we must give immediate attention to seeing that Experimental Dept. have full instructions as to what "India" consists of. Obviously, for a number of sections which have been entirely altered from the original "F" Series, Part Lists will not yet be in existence, but it is essential that we issue to Experimental Dept., if we have not already done so, prints of all new drawings and typed lists of parts or altered blueprints of same. The above is absolutely essential as I am instructing Mr. Coverley to produce three experimental "India" Chassis, which must be produced to parts issued for last 170 chassis in "F" Series. The above is most urgent work for each Department, and must take preference of all other work, stopping, if necessary, all other work on new drawings, and putting every man in the section on to this work until complete Instructions are issued to the Experimental Dept. The next urgent job is, - get Part Lists made up and issued to the Order Office and Works. BY.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} By | ||
