PHANTOM SPRINGING COMPLAINTS.

I have read your note with interest and all that you say is certainly a matter for investigation, and of course, is constantly having the attention of the Exptl Dept..

This, however, does not affect my decision and jobs of this nature must not be instructed by the Repair Dept., or indeed by any Dept., other than BY.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer}, and BY.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} should not instruct until such parts have been passed experimentally and standardised.

This is important, and I must insist that all instructions for producing anything of this nature should be given except [struck through] by BY's Dept..
