PHANTOM BONNET LOCKS. -------------------- N.Sch.2372. ----------- Referring to HS{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/M.22.3.27, we have instructed the bonnet catch referred to in this memo to the Experimental Dept. but the new lock to N.Sch.2372 we have done nothing with, but in view of R's remark in his memo referred to, we are now going ahead to detail it. We take it you quite appreciate, in view of your remarks in connection with N.Sch.2372, that nothing has been done so far as we are concerned, with the new lock scheme. We were awaiting consent, as you suggested we should do. BY.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} | ||
