| GRY{Shadwell Grylls}: Do we agree with this Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} 247 Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} Roy.{Sir Henry Royce} Hy.{Tom Haldenby - Plant Engineer} E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} BY.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} from RHC{R. H. Coverley - Production Engineer}/GH. RHC{R. H. Coverley - Production Engineer}/GH.1/IB.8.12.36. We should be greatly obliged if you could alter your design of E84742 - Cover for Tunnel Tube, made in Staybrite, and make this piece similar to EW.571 - Cover (Dixtampo). There is a slight difference in the design of these two pieces, but they are both used for the same purpose on the chassis. We estimate that by this alteration we shall change the cost as from 3s.3d. for E84742 to 7d. for a piece similar to EW.571. RHC{R. H. Coverley - Production Engineer}/GH. G Hallowell | ||
