| To EJJ/JV. from Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Swdl.{Len H. Swindell} 1315. Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Swdl.{Len H. Swindell}3/MH.{M. Huckerby}26.1.38. NO.5 TEST HOUSE. Whilst the Ph.III test bed is being renovated along with the installation of the universal tackle on the Bentley bed, will you please take into consideration that we want to be able to put the new B.50 engine on the Ph.III bed. Although the B.50 is still in the process of design, some approximation to the mounting and the position of the exhaust can be obtained and suitably included when the Ph.III bed is relaid and the trenches for the exhaust system made.
