| To HPS.{Horace Percy Smith - Experimental Factory Mgr} 1003 Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Std.6/JH.21.6.37. We omitted to instruct 12 sets of starting handle bush support brackets when instructing 12 sets of 5 blade fans and drives. As a new support bracket will be required in order to give adequate clearance for the fan belt, will you please make 12 sets of the type fitted to 32-EX, they will of course have to fit the standard timing case on production.
