| -3- Ev.{Ivan Evernden - coachwork}1/JH.11.9.40. Yesterday we sent to Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}, complete details and L.O.P.'s. and arrangements of the turret base which it is proposed to ask the L.M. & S.R. to fabricate. The intention we believe, is to make one experimental power mounting, but 2 off should be produced of all castings and forgings. This power mounting has no place as yet in the production. programme. It is suitable for Naval craft where power is available and also for ground defence work. We hope this brief description of the programme will be of help to you, and time will help you to fill in the details. Ev.{Ivan Evernden - coachwork} | ||
