We have divided the printed copies of the Specifications into two groups those relating to aero we are sending to E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} and those relating to chassis we are sending to Da.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} The one relating to alloys we are sending to H1. We also include a fourth list marked "Additional" of published patents which are not among the names against which we usually search. These are being sent, - and will in future be sent, - because the Patent Office has for the time being discontinued the issueof the usual weekly abridgements. The additional patents are selected as being of possible interest. Copies of these specifications can be supplied if required. N.W. | ||
