700 To Ev.{Ivan Evernden - coachwork} from Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} Copy to Ev{Ivan Evernden - coachwork}/JD.{J. Draper - Frames} MYTH DESIGN WORK. ----------------------- This is to confirm that we want complete designs to enable the Myth to be built before we transfer anybody from Draper's staff to tank work. Draper estimates that it will take him another fort-night to clean up the job. At the end of this time we should have suffi-cient information from the Directorate of Tank Design to enable us to say what extra design assistance will be required on tank work.
