Further to memo E.1/HP.13.10.36, it is suggested that we should order only half the material for "G" series with the modification in for curing the 30 m.p.h. drone, and we hope to follow on soon with a much cheaper, simpler, and lighter exhaust system altogether, on which the preliminary tests have been made. | ||
