40 mm. Type BD{Mr Berend} Gun

As the B.U.S.M. will presumably make their own arrangements for the supply of barrels for the 500 guns on their contract, we should take steps to retain 25 of the 40 mm. barrels now being made at Nottingham to build into the guns ordered by the Air Ministry Contract B.144506/40/C.11.c.
