| C.A.W.B. Mr. Hives. August 1st. 1917. A.2095 (Re E. {Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} a & b .Vol .10. Folio 9591.C) With reference to the new works details in Journal EAGLE(Aero Engine) If Mr. Moor has tested the proposed change to the cylinder stud nuts, I should like to have a report thereon. This case is not really a substitute but a definite improvement and the substitute parts should be approved. FALCON(Aero Engine). Some samples of the modified rubber joint washers have been tried and found very satisfactory. It is also considered that we could at this instant go one better because of the recent tests on the "Eagle(Aero Engine)". We have had several on other cars which are quite good, and the fixing of this change is more urgent than that I have just mentioned. As we do not now fit the front brake, these should be removed.
