In reply to your memo. HPS {Horace Percy Smith - Experimental Factory Mgr} /Cy.4/IC.7.2.40. re cutting of the internal teeth your suggestion of serrations would suit us. These slots are merely for oil release and could be produced in a form most suitable for manufacture with a generous tolerance. I will await your decision as to the type you would prefer to produce and in the meantime you will machine this piece by the most expedient method. Ev {Ivan Evernden - coachwork} /HH. | ||
