| Tanker c. to Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} 3 Ev.{Ivan Evernden - coachwork}/JH.16.7.40. We are returning herewith the original of QA.1130. for which we thank you. A full scale arrangement of the 17.2 m.m. gun QA.1132 would be of great interest to us and we would be very glad if you could let us have one. Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} has a print which he wishes to keep for other purposes. If at the same time you have an arrangement drawing of the 40 m.m. gun we would very much like to have a print if you are agreeable as it is helpful to know something about what is inside the piece of mechanism which one has to mount and control.
