| To HPS. {Horace Percy Smith - Experimental Factory Mgr} 200a Rm {William Robotham - Chief Engineer} /Swd1.9/JH.15.3.37. 6-B-IV (URGENT). We have received a report from GWH {George W. Hancock - Head Chateauroux} /IMW. {Ivan M. Waller - Head of Chateauroux} to say that they are breaking oil pipes and suggest that the bracket which supports the external filter allows some vibration of the latter. Will you please have made another set of oil pipes made together with a bracket, if possible to be more rigid than the previous one. A direct pipe (EB.2192) to be sent out until the above bracket and pipes are ready. Rm {William Robotham - Chief Engineer} /L.H.Swindall. | ||
