FAN JRM [signature] houlthin 1/SD [handwritten] Will you please arrange to produce a modified fan hub spindle and bearing distance piece to enable the fan to be drawn back from the radiator .125". This modification is necessary to increase the clearance between the front of the fan blades and the tie stays at the back of the radiator matrix, as it is thought that the fan will move forward with the engine if the car is braked violently from high speed. This modification should be introduced without scrap at 'C' series. BY {R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} /NS. {Norman Scott} NS {Norman Scott} [initials] | ||
