| BY.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} FROM E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} C. to SG.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} WOR.{Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager} HS.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} ORIGINAL E2/M25.4.31. IGNITION WIRING TUBES FOR P. 2. X6117 We send you herewith prints of LeCs. 2900/01., shewing proposals for considerably reducing the cost of the wiring tubes. Unfortunately these drawings have been delayed by the illness of the man dealing with the job, but we should be glad if you could find out if the tubes can be produced in the way indicated, and we will shew the original designs to R.{Sir Henry Royce} next week to get his approval. The drawing states that the tubing should be of 20 SWG. weldless steel but we do not want to tie you down to any particular thickness, or any particular tube, if it is going to make a big difference to the cost of production.
