Fowler Clarke - Electrical Engineer} BY20-P25.10.20. X.3438 FAN. X.3566 I attach herewith test department report on the special fan belts. I have enquired into this matter and find that it will occasion something like £1000 worth of scrap. Is the trouble of such a nature as to make it desirable for us to face the scrap and revert to the original type Whittle belt? BY. {R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} (STAMP: RECEIVED OCT 26) | ||
