Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Les.17/KW. 25.1.35.

We have also had demonstrations of a single match behind a pillar in the body preventing a particular panel from diaphragming, and thus curing a very pronounced boom.

The general outlook is to slacken everything off and make sure there are no d----- silly contacts. However, in the case of Blackmer, I think the Coach-builders should do their share.
