Hs {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} /FJH. {Fred J. Hardy - Chief Dev. Engineer} 12/KW.2.10.35.

We consider that a rig of this type would be quite unsuitable for work involving prolonged running or accurate measurements, and would be suitable only as a means of running for very short periods with approximate measurement of torque. Accordingly we do not recommend this rig.
