COMMENTS OF TUR DULY NOTED. RESPONSE FROM BILL STONES VERY MUCH AS EXPECTED. HOWEVER PARA 5 TUR ON THE ANTI WHIP RESTRAINT IS VERY MUCH A RED HERRING. I UNDERSTAND THAT MR STONES HAS WRITTEN TO MR DAVIDSON, MD, GEC PLC, ON THE MATTER. GEC MAY WELL LOOK AT IT AGAIN BUT I AM SURE THAT NO CHANGES WILL BE MADE. THE PROBLEM WAS INVESTIGATED IN GREAT DETAIL BY GNPJVC, EOF AND GEC SOME ELEVEN MONTHS AGO (SEE REPORT OF GNPJVC/GEC MEETING, CLAMART, FRANCE, 16 JUNE 1988, PARA 18). THE DECISION TAKEN THEN BY ALL PARTIES WAS THAT THERE WAS NO TIME AVAILABLE FOR ANY DESIGN CHANGES. IN FACT, THE MATTER WAS DEALT WITH MOST PROFESSIONALLY ON A TECHNICAL BASIS, AND AN ACTION PLAN QUICKLY WORKED OUT FOR THE RETROFIT OF THE ANTI WHIP RESTRAINT INTO THE BUILDING. CLEVELAND BRIDGE'S FAILURE TO MEET DELIVERY REQUIREMENTS HAS UNDONE ALL THAT GOOD WORK.
