| BY/HBB BY/CS c. Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} ---------- 47005 BY3/G.5.4.29. S.S. ENGINE FOOT. --------------- I wish to confirm my verbal instructions to the effect that Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} preferred to have the engine feet made suitable for 1/8 insertion rubber or otherwise for both front and rear engine feet. Will you therefore go ahead and get out an engine foot suitable for this requirement. Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} also recommends that the sheet metal plates be made from material .200" thick or the nearest gauge. We would suggest No.6 gauge as being possibly the best which has a thickness of .192". By BY.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} | ||
