| 6092, To HPS.{Horace Percy Smith - Experimental Factory Mgr} c. to RC{R. Childs}/CAP. Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/RC.{R. Childs}4/JH.19.1.38. LUCAS REGULATOR ON R.R. BASE - BENTLEY III. For the purpose of mounting the Lucas regulator on the present R.R. regulator-cutout unit base, we require extra depth in the back of this base. To provide this we would like the centre portion of a second base cut away in such as manner as to allow it to spigot on to the bottom of the unit base. At the same time the stud holes in the second base should be drilled to allow the securing bolts in the unit base to pass through. Will you please arrange for this to be done as soon as possible.
