| Rg.{Mr Rowledge} C. Wor.{Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager} C. Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} X1360 CADMIUM PLATING. Referring to Rg{Mr Rowledge}1/LW.11.1.28. I am taking a typical set of control parts and plating same with the object of ascertaining whether it will be necessary for us to make dimensional allowances for the plating on the pins, holes and jaw widths. Personally I do not think it will, but it is best to be sure of this before committing ourselves. In regard to the diffuser vanes, we are instructing these right away. BY.{R.W.
