Bailey - Chief Engineer} /SS {S. Smith} 2/DB. {Donald Bastow - Suspensions} 22.11.27. Re EAC.8. (12-EX). Radiator Suspension. With the "Ferobestos" bush type of Radiator Mounting, W.W. sent alternative schemes. (1). "N" Schemes 2076/7 without Felt rings. (2). "N" Scheme 2086 with Felt rings each side. The radiator recently dismantled from 12-EX is made to No.2. and the one being prepared for the 10,000 miles (7 mm. tubes .500 shorter) is to be No.1. This will give a comparative test between the two types. Will HEB {H. Biraben} please warn RHC {R. H. Coverley - Production Engineer} regarding the parts on his section required for 12-EX. For EAC.14. we are instructing to No.2. BY {R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} /SS. {S. Smith} | ||
