B and BE Shops.

24th August, 1943.

[Underlined] Cleaning [/underlined] Is satisfactorily carried out on all details, assemblies, and components with turpentine substitute or thinners.

[Underlined] Drying [/underlined] There are now very few small details passing through the paint shop, and therefore drying racks are not in use.

[Underlined] Components. [/underlined] Markings are well carried out to A.V. Roe’s approved drawings. Aileron structures are stripped and a coat of dope resisting paint to Specification 3X4 is applied prior to fabric covering.

[Underlined] Remarks. [/underlined] A number of batch numbers, taken from paint drums now in use were satisfactorily traced back to their respective release notes. A good standard of workmanship is being maintained generally, and parts examined were found to be free from flaking and to have a good even finish.
