It is proposed that we have Aero Conferences every Monday afternoon, at 2.30 p.m. at Derby. The one next week, January 22nd, is for the purpose of discussing engine development and production. The following week (January 29th) will be for service complaints, repairs and modifications. For this conference we shall require BY.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} Reid. Sft.{Mr Swift} and his service people, and Cgh.{W Clough} The following week (Feb.5th) will be the Aero Research Meeting. The following week (Feb. 12th) will be Prototype machines, power plants, and Hucknall. We have tried to arrange these so that people need not be called to the Conference who are going to waste their time. In future, we may decide to include the Exe engine in the Research Conference. This we can discuss. Will you please arrange to notify the appropriate people for these Conferences, sending Sg.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} and myself a copy of the notes.
