| To HPS.{Horace Percy Smith - Experimental Factory Mgr} 300a Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Std.2/JH.2.4.37. As the test bed results and test rig results on the single belt standard speed fan drive for the Cadillac five blade fan are satisfactory, will you please make a second set of pulleys (as requested under Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Std.1/JH.6.3.37.) as soon as possible, so that we can send a set to GWH.{George W. Hancock - Head Chateauroux} in France for 35-EX and also retain a set for Brooklands tests etc. Will you also make a second Cadillac type fan blade assembly (blades and flange) using aluminium blades as in the first set built.
