| Clan. Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}2/ML.21.6.40. It is proposed to have a complete set of rigs for building Kestrel XXX engines, in the Shop at the Clan Foundry. In order to keep a set of rigs running it is apparently necessary to have 25 engines in the Stores. It is also apparently necessary to have another Stores where the completed units are to be put before they are released to the engine assembly line. We want the approximate space taken up by :- 1. Rigs. 2. The Store of 25 complete sets of engine parts. 3. The Stores for the complete units, as at present being run by Crouch, to do 50 engines per week. We then divide these spaces by two and see how they fit in to the floor we have got available at the Clan. We shall have no inspection or stripping at the Clan Foundry, so this can be ignored.
