We have divided the printed copies of the Specifications into two groups - those relating to chassis we are sending to De. and those relating to aero we are sending to E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} We also include a forth list marked "Additional" of published patents which are not amongst the names of which we usually Search. These are being sent, - and will in future be sent, - because the Patent Office has for the time discontinued the issue of the weekly Abridgements. The additional patents are selected as being of possible interest. Copies of these Specifications can be supplied if required. [Signature] N.W. | ||
