Cont'd.{John DeLooze - Company Secretary}

pedestal mounting has not yet been completed.

You may rest assured, however, that we shall urge this lightened type of mounting as far as we can.

I think that they will insist upon your carrying ammunition boxes, though they admit that these were originally designed for battle-ships.

Eventually, if enough high-speed boats come into existance, they may put a modified light box into production.

If ever we get our gun into an aircraft, a light ammunition box will have to be produced, of which you should be able to take advantage.

Yours sincerely,
