Some of our cars have obsolete servos, and we have just been instructed to give away a new one to Raymond Mays, and possibly other customers. As this servo is now standardised it will save us a lot of machining if the dies for it can be put in hand straight away. The LOP.s. for it are described in - By/TWD.{T. W. D???Aeith}5/E.11.2.37. By/TWD.{T. W. D???Aeith}5/E.7.1.37. By/TWD.{T. W. D???Aeith}2/E.30.12.36. By/TWD.{T. W. D???Aeith}5/E.26.1.37. We cannot instruct dies except for experimental purposes, as this component has been standardised we would be obliged if you would expedite them so that we can obtain some forgings.
