| X.4254. To BY. {R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} from DA. {Bernard Day - Chassis Design} c. to CJ. LHS. {Lord Herbert Scott - Chair} Hs. {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} DA {Bernard Day - Chassis Design} 3/M14.9.23. GOSHAWK(Aero Engine)(Codename for 20HP Car / Aero Engine after Kestrel(Aero Engine)) 11. UNIVERSAL JOINTS. X.4254. WE send herewith N.sch.1456 shewing a modification to the position of the Enots lubricator on the rear universal joint to avoid the trouble which is experienced at present in these joints being knocked off due to insufficient clearance with the body. We should like you to fit one of these up experimentally as quickly as possible, as we think this is a very urgent job which ought to be put right at once. DA. {Bernard Day - Chassis Design} | ||
