COPY: XC4698 To BY. {R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} from Hs {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} /Rm. {William Robotham - Chief Engineer} Hs {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} /Rm. {William Robotham - Chief Engineer} 2/KT.15.6.33. With reference to Sft. {Mr Swift} 9/BH.12.6.33. We do not think it is necessary to hold up carburettors and air silencers any further with regard to working hand to mouth. We have, however, a scheme in hand to bring the 20/25 breather in line with the Bentley and for this reason we do not want to make a large quantity of the present air silencer castings. With regard to the front and rear shock absorber glands we must still work hand to mouth with these as we have not solved the leakage trouble yet. The other parts we do not think refer to us.
