| 56110 E/Bn.{W.O. Bentley / Mr Barrington} From Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Wst. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Wst.7/MA.13.11.35. MERLIN E CONDUITS. Regarding our conversation together we confirm that you will take steps to modify the design of these conduits to avoid the mechanical breakdowns experienced, and to avoid the tubes collapsing in the clips. As stated to you we are taking up the question of the Bakelite moulding with the manufacturers of the powder with a view to improving the heat resistance quality of the same.
