Description

4096SR/4.

The dummy blade weights in question, should have their retaining tangs on the forward face made true to drawing, and would Mr Newport please make arrangements for this work to be carried out. The full 1st stage set of weights will be modified to our instructions detailed in our note to Mr Edmunds dated 12 January 1954 Ref CE/SWM/KC/3889
