| REF. 43 (i) 2nd October 1911. Z 545 Mr. Spinney 2-10-11 Mr. Platford has had several cases where the undersheets have broken at the point where the flange leaves the semi- circular body. To overcome the difficulty it is pro- posed that we should try one or two experi- mental undersheets having a strengthening piece somewhat as shown in the sketch below. Will you kindly issue some instructions to the shop to prepare these undersheets. | ||
