| To Ds. from Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Wst. c. By/RD. 6135 Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Wst.5/AP.5.5.37 New Type P.3. Instrument Board. This board was submitted to Sales for their criticisms after being examined in the Dark Room by Wst. and By/RD. and we attach herewith copy of a note received from Cx.{Major Len W. Cox - Advertising Manager} giving Sales' criticisms of the layout. We suggest that this matter should be raised at the next conference as we understand the layout of the board on paper was approved by Sales before any Experimental work was carried out in making the board up, and if we are to avoid wasting time on these schemes in future Sales must be prepared to turn down the scheme on paper before any time and money is expended in making the schemes up.
