In regard to the Water Pump Drive with increased flexibility which you have been trying out, we have again spoken to LA.{L. A. Archer} who is strongly in favour of the thinner plates being introduced. To avoid scrap, this modification could be introduced when all present plates are used up. RHC{R. H.
