| G.W.Hancock. From Hs {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} /Les. Hotel de France Chateauroux(French test region), Indre, France. X7941. Hs {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} /Les.9/MA. 8.7.32. SIDE SPARE WHEEL CARRIERS. With reference to the failure of the internal stiffener to frame bolts on 19-EX, we have decided to increase the diameter of the bolts from .312" to .375". We are sending you the 4 new .325" diam bolts, which we should like you to fit if it is possible. E. {Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} would like to examine the broken bolts to see if their failure is caused from the stiffener bending on the corner. Hs {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} /Les. | ||
