Issue No.1 I am attaching hereto the above Specification for the special car required by B. This particular car is urgently wanted. This particular job has priority over any work following B.5 production, and new designs, therefore, should be proceeded with with the utmost despatch where such are required. They will then be handed on to the Detail Department, who must again give them priority. One other point I wish to emphasize is, that in future we will always issue a complete part list against such specification requirements. To do this it may be necessary to turn some of the Draughtsmen on to production of the part list, so that these may be got to the Experimental Department with the least possible delay. The production of the part list must be considered of equal importance with the issue of the details. BY | ||
