| COPY. Ve/HGF.1/CR.{Mr Cra???ster / Mr Chichester} 9th May, 1941. The Bristol Aeroplane Co., Ltd., Filton House, BRISTOL. For the attention of Mr. Frise. Dear Sirs, Further to our letter of yesterday, we find that we omitted to send you a drawing indicating the front mounting. We are therefore sending you herewith copy of our drawing QS.264, indicating this. We also enclose copy of drawing QS.269 which shows the size and position of the opening in the keel plate required for ejection and, while we are confident that this is correct, we are carrying out experiments with ejection and will let you know immediately if any modification to the opening is necessary. Yours faithfully, for ROLLS-ROYCE LIMITED. (S.M. Viale) Chief Engineer, Armaments Division. | ||
