| SFO. Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} DY{F R Danby}/SS.{S. Smith} X.8685 BY6/H.{Arthur M. Hanbury - Head Complaints} 3.4.25. ---e--- We find that on the Oil Relay the Experimertal Dept. have found the spring ring which is causing the Works some trouble, is not necessary. Will you therefore kindly arrange to fit up future parts without the spring ring. We shall simply depend upon the fit of the leather to keep the plunger oil tight. BY.{R.W.
