As there is now no dissentient voice, instructions will now be issued to the effect that all attempts to rectify wing rippling by existing methods must stop. Complaints will have to await the new treatment. I agree with JPB that we are really trying to cure the incurable.

A cost analysis has been done as follows:-

Cost Retail
Material ........ £ 9.10 0 £19. 0. 0
Labour - 2 hours ... 3. 4.0 3. 4. 0
Total ........ 12.14.0 22. 4. 0

There will be a small tooling charge which has not yet been worked out.
