| COPY. Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} from Ev.{Ivan Evernden - coachwork} c. Ve. Ev.{Ivan Evernden - coachwork}2/JH.21.10.40. re Pedestal Mounting Type BD.{Mr Berend} Gun. We have received the attached Memo. from Ve. in view of your Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}6/ML.16.10.40. to which was attached a copy of a letter from Eng. Rear Admiral S.C.Whyham. We would be glad if you would indicate what is the correct procedure. It would appear to us that the question of the adjustable washers QPL.125 and 129 should have been taken up by Eng. Rear Admiral S.C.Whyham, or his Overseer, Eng. Commander Smith. Ev.{Ivan Evernden - coachwork} | ||
