| 115 84027. To Wor.{Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager} from RHC.{R. H. Coverley - Production Engineer} C O P Y. RHC{R. H. Coverley - Production Engineer}10/BE31.8.32. PEREGRINE. The present position with regard to Peregrine is so involved that it is impossible to give any idea of the completion date for remaining chassis. Most sections are affected, and where doubt exists we have held up production of the parts as with so many modifications pending it would appear waste of time to proceed. In order to give you some idea as to exactly what the alterations mean, we attach a list of sections affected so that you are aware of the position and can take steps to deal with same. It would appear to be most important that the next chassis should have all the new features found necessary as result of tests on the first chassis, and until the specification is defined, the programme for remaining chassis cannot be decided upon.
