| X3566 Hs {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} from By. {R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} c. to EFC. {E. Fowler Clarke - Electrical Engineer} P By20/H25.10.20. X.3438. FAN. X.3566. I attach herewith test department report on the special fan belts. I have enquired into this matter and find that it will occasion something like £1000 worth of scrap. Is the trouble of such a nature as to make it desirable for us to face the scrap and revert to the original type Whittle belt ? By. {R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} | ||
