Could be produced as a die casting. A. {Mr Adams} This piece is also being considered as a die casting. Turning bosses in place of spot facing would be cheaper. S. 13. If the clamping boss on the Upper Triangle Levers GW.847 were lengthened .075, the special spherical Head Bolt G.83841 at present used on F.III. would then suit Wraith. . See no reason why this suggestion should not be adopted. RHC {R. H. Coverley - Production Engineer} /TVT. {T. V. Turner} JWA | ||
