| To Mr. from Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} Gun FILE Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}6/SW.25.5.41. I am sending you herewith drawings shewing the modifications necessary to the Beaufighter hull to enable the 40 M/m to be installed. I believe this completes the particulars for which you are waiting, but should be glad if you would let me know if you are still short of any information. Will you please send Bristols an order for the two front panels they are supplying which will be modified to take the blast tubes. Attached is a copy of the letter which accompanied the drawings.
