Rm {William Robotham - Chief Engineer} /Swd1.1/MH. {M. Huckerby} 1.9.38. we have been in touch with Vandervells for rocker bushes suitable for the B.60 units, in view of the difficulty experienced in direct whitemetalling on the rocker bores. In consequent they are sending 40 bushes next week for the job and have submitted their drawing B.2253 which should be copied and included on the L.O.P. for B.60 and B.80. The only modification necessary on the rockers is that it is boreed .843 dia. to house the Vandervell bushes. Rm {William Robotham - Chief Engineer} /Swd1. | ||
