To Da.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} from E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} c. to CJ. c. to Wor.{Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager} c. to BY.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} c. to Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} Y4260 E1/M27.4.22. GOSHAWK 11. FRONT DUMB IRON. X.4260. We send you herewith drawing No. LeC.1559 shewing a dumb iron 15% longer than LeC.1525, made in accordance with Mr. Royce's memo. R1/M19.4.22. We found it impossible to get 2 rivets into the front end of the dumb iron and have therefore retained the bolting scheme as used on LeC.1525. We are notifying Mr. Royce accordingly.
