MR. H. 0. B. UNDERDOWN, the chairman of the Motor Industry Branch Committee of the Engineering Trades (New Industries) Committee of the Ministry of Reconstruction, has handed us the following letter for publication, under date 16th May, 1918 :— Sir,—The Ministry of Reconstruction, has under consideration the possibility of granting assistance to• manufacturers in the motor and allied industries in the matter of the construction of experimental postwar models of their products.
I should, therefore, be glad if you would give publicity to this invitation to all such manufacturers to forward to the secretary of the 'Motor Industry Branch Committee of the Engineering Trades (New Industries) Committee, 39, St.. James's Street, S.W., 1, a statement of their requirements in this connection. This statement should represent the most moderate demands possible. It should include estimates of the bulk weight of the different materials required, and should also cover patterns, tools, and other requirements in connection with the manufacture or testing of exp_erirnental models. It should also state requirement inrespect of labour needed for the production of such experimental Models; with a view to possible arrangements to permit employment of labour in this way. Manufacturers are reminded that if it proves possible to complete arrangements in their interests, it remains certain that the facilities which it will be possible to grant will be very limited, and that demands should be framed accordingly.
All statements of: requirements must reach the offices of .the Branch Committee not later than 10th June.—Yours faithfully, H. C. B. UNDE.R.DOWX,
Chairman of Motor Industry Branch Committee.
