DESIGN PERSONNEL WORKING IN FITTING SECTION. With reference to the very excellent suggestion that the Design Department would like to contribute towards the war effort by working at least part of their time on repairing engines, it has been arranged that they shall work in the Fitting Shop on Sundays and Mondays from 8 a.m. to 7 p.m. with the usual break for meals. We suggest that some provision is made for overalls; there is a special organisation which deals with these and which will call and measure the people up. Dodd knows their address.
