| X508 To RHC. {R. H. Coverley - Production Engineer} Hs {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} /Rm. {William Robotham - Chief Engineer} 18/KW.9.7.35. We anticipate that we may have trouble with the existing pipe on the 4-port system on the 20/25. We should like you to look into the question of getting sliding joints on the main branches as indicated in LeC.2896/7, as these were quite successful on the 20/25 and Phantom. Actually the Invar rod was not found to be necessary. Hs {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} /Rm. {William Robotham - Chief Engineer} | ||
