A decision to adopt any important re-equipment plan depends upon what other countries are doing, and financial considerations. Such decisions are a heavy res- ponsibility, calling for technical knowledge and the judgment, weighing a great number of con- eiderations.

Before a new type goes into pro- duction 18 months or two years are spent in the drawing office, the con- struction of the prototype and its test- ing, and inevitable modifications.

The Air Ministry has effected one important time-saving

method. Formerly one prototype machine was built, and it went through successive treatment by various experts and committees, each demanding altera- tion, the work of one in some cases upsetting the plans of others.

Nowadays three prototypes are built,

the work goes on simultane- and ously, with the result that a year or more is saved.
