We are very anxious to know - (1) Whether the matrix in question was a Mk.Vl.{V. Lewis / Mr Valentine} one. (2) Whether the matrix in question was found to be defective and nature of the defect, as pointed out in Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Std.18/AP. 16.3.37 Any complaint on a Mk.VI. matrix is extremely important since we are on Production with this type of matrix at the moment - we should therefore like to receive the above mentioned information as soon as possible.
