| H.M.S.EXCELLENT. Portsmouth. 23rd. September. 1940. Dear Robotham, Many thanks for your letter about mountings. I am sorry that I led you astray over the Oerlikon mountings, but it is so very difficult to keep in touch with the situation if the Official Mind changes from day to day. 2. As regards the Tool box, I would suggest the following requirements :- (a) Robust and of reasonable size. (b) Each tool in its own stowage. (c) Capable of being clipped as well as locked. (d) Fitted with lifting handles. 3. I am afraid I cannot think of any other particular requirement that ought to be met. 4. I congratulate you on your handbook; a most admirable publication. Yours sincerely, (Signed...)R.Young. | ||
