| To Sft{Mr Swift}/WEP. 1129 Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Ed.{J. L. Edwards}5/JH.20.4.37. Valve gear rig. We shall soon be requiring the above rig called for in memo. EJJ/JV.6/JC.3.2.37. and EJJ/JV.7/JC.16.2.37. for couplings for P.III and Bentley crankshaft and camshaft. We have decided to run a Bentley first and should be glad if you would urge these coupling tests, pedestals and bed plate, and as soon as possible get the rig laid down on No.2c. bed. If the parts for the ca shaft drive and the indicators are ready these could be rigged up on a crankcase assembly in our shop in readiness for putting on the bed, thus saving a considerable amount of time later on.
