Bailey - Chief Engineer} [struck through] C. ROY.{Sir Henry Royce} [struck through] C. M.{Mr Moon / Mr Moore} [struck through] x7510. SFT.{Mr Swift}4/B.2.9.29. x7570 [handwritten, crossed out] x7080 [handwritten] Memo Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}1/MJ.16.8.29. We are making arrangements to test autovacs as per instructions contained in the above memo, but in view of Mx{John H Maddocks - Chief Proving Officer}'s report - memo Mx{John H Maddocks - Chief Proving Officer}9/T30.8.29., in which he says that the S.S. carburetter trouble has nothing to do with the autovac supply, we are wondering whether it is still necessary for them to go on with the testing tackle for autovacs. We are proposing to hold up this job unless we hear further from you. SFT.{Mr Swift} [Signature] | ||
