London, Nov. 7. When Sir John Simon announced this morning that he had just received, very belatedly, two docu- ments from Cardington bearing on the disaster, he introduced the most sensational episode during the en- quiry.
Colonel Richmond's Letter.
The first document was a com- munication from the designer, Colonel V, C. Richmond to Major Scott, the Assistant Director of Airship Development, dated July 2, which related to report that Flight Commander Irwin, the cap tain of the R.101, on the previous day had found the ship heavy In handling, and referred to the pos sibility of loss of gas.

Colonel Richmond then estimats ed that the loss of lift, due to holes in the gas bags would amount to about one ten per square inch of opening in 12 hours and asked for particulars of any holes found from time to time by the crew.
"Startling Result." "This result," wrote Col. Rich mon, "is somewhat startling and emphasises the great importance of guarding against the develop ment of holes in the gas-bags of these ships."
The second document was a re port from the Cardington ingee tion Department, prepared by an official, Mr. McWade, who wrote to the Air Ministry regarding the chafing of the gas-bags against nuts on the bolts, which despite padding showed holes,
