Thirdly, what experiments have been reported on by the Experimental Dept; and have been approved by Mr Royce, but have not yet been authorized by the signature of the General Managing Director, the Works Manager, the Superintendant of the Testing Dept; etcetera. Fourthly, what so improvements have/been approved by the signature of Officials but have not yet been introduced into Standard Manufacture. Why, and in what series will they be introduced, whether material has been ordered, whether patterns are being made etcetera. Naturally, the signatures of the officials which are necessary before improvements can be introduced into standard manufacture need not be on one paper; the request for the signature should be sent on a separate sheet for each official, so as to save time. The usual Monthly Reports of Chief Draughtsmen may be discontinued. The first of the new Monthly Reports as to progress with improvements should be sent in on 1st February and should deal with all improvements which have not yet been included in Standard Manufacture.
