Responding to a request, suggesting nomograms be mounted on a stiffened ply board instead of a rolled sheet to avoid inaccuracy.

| To EFC. from E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} D 26th August, 1918. E3/G26818. RECEIVED X.3290. RE NOMOGRAMS. 26"x38" In reply to yours EFC8/T19818, we should be very glad if you could manage to get both nomograms on to one size 5. I suggest that you do not send these to us in the form of a rolled sheet, but that the paper be mounted, before the nomograms are drawn, on to say a piece of ply board stiffened with battens on the back. We shall then be saved the inaccuracy that a mounting operation subsequent to the drawing of the nomograms would cause. I do not think the scale of the blue prints we have already is too small for our purpose here, as we should use the nomograms for reference, with perhaps confirmation of important ratings by figures afterwards.
