INSTRUMENT BOARD. "W" SERIES. ------------------------------ In reply to BY14/H.{Arthur M. Hanbury - Head Complaints} 9.12.24. Da.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} has replied as per attached copy of Da{Bernard Day - Chassis Design}2/M.{Mr Moon / Mr Moore} 12.12.24. We therefore suggest that the Experimental Dept. should build up one of the lozenge shaped Instrument Boards and when same is available, let us know, and we will write to C. and get his agreement to same being despatched. I think it is important, even in the matter of the new Instrument Board, to make Sales give us direct instructions before we despatch.
