Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}6/MH.{M. Huckerby}13.3.40. Herewith is a report from Bastow in which he outlines the rigs he is proposing to make. If anyone has any ideas on further rigs that would be useful we should be glad to have them at this juncture. All Bastow's tests will be supplemented by our normal dynamometer, bump and frame torsion tests which will be as at present. Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} | ||
