Coverley - Production Engineer}/RH.{R. Hollingworth}3/AP.9.11.36, we prepared a scheme for completely protecting the pipes in question, and issued same to the Experimental Dept. 13.7.36. There must be something wrong, when we are asked to do something which has been done a long while since. Personally I am of the opinion that protecting pipes should be added without further delay, or the chassis will be obsolete before the parts are added. The parts were all instructed in our memo BY/TWD{T. W. D???Aeith}5/E.13.7.36. BY.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} | ||
