Lady Astrel

RLJ: I'm aware of a change in the base plate of the magazine to a thicker material, but not...
JEH: Nobody's ever changed the specification on that magazine. We've got a contractual commitment on that...
JK: Well this afternoon somebody 'phoned the company supplying these things - was the material 413 or something?
JEH: 17- 7PH!
WR: Who 'phoned who?
CB: 62
WR: Who? Ferdie Bokus?
CB: Yes. So Ferdie Bokus put me onto Jim Turner...
WR: Yes.
CS: I wanted a material specification on the magazine, so he said the specification - that they were depressed that this...
JEH: 17- 7PH!
JK: No, I think it was something else...41...
CB: ...416, but they couldn't get that in lesser quantities than ten tons at a time, so they are making the magazines in 410L.
JK: No, 316L.
CB: 316L, sorry.
WF: I don't think 316 will work. I don't think the lips will hold up.
JEH: I don't think they will either, and I don't know a damned thing about this. I don't know who authorised this change, and you are not authorised to accept another magazine until someone - and I'm not going to contact them; that's ridiculous. Nobody is authorised to make a material change without a clearance from me.
WR: So then you must contact them...
JEH: Because, see, we're not heat treating these magazines, so we had to Specify a plate that would take the set and hold the set from the free forming, all right? The specification for the material was 17- 7PH, period, simple, chete! That was the material specification.
RLJ: Joe the change that I'm aware of is the thickness in the base plate.
JEH: Who told you they had changed all this?
CB: I phoned this afternoon to get a material specification for John.
JEH: Yes.
JK: I required the specification for the magazine base...
JEH: Sure; for the drawing.
CB: So then I was told this over the 'phone. Prior to that I knew nothing.
JEH: Jesus wept! I don't believe this! (c)
