GOSHAWK LUGGAGE GRID. X.3524.

We send herewith our print of N.sch.1300 to which we have added in pencil a transverse stiffening stay.

We believe that this grid will be found sufficiently rigid without this, but in case not, this stay should be used, and we have added a note to this effect.

Would Derby kindly add this sketch and note to the original drawing and send us a fresh print, if possible by Saturday morning, or Monday at latest.

It will be understood that this question of luggage grid is not settled until we have had a price from Derby, which must be below a certain figure, or the design will either require modification or abandoning altogether. Could the giving of this price be speeded up?
