| To Ve. c. to Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} re 40 m.m. Gun in Beaufighter. Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} is anxious that we should make some progress with the installation of the 40 m.m. gun in the Beaufighter both with the R.R. feed and the B.U.S.M. feed. The only particulars of the R.R. feed we have are those shown on the 1/4 scale installation drawing; in order to enable us to do this installation intelligently and to make the best job of it, we would very much like to have a full size drawing of the feed.
