| TO D.A. from E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} E1/08/3/21 Contd. A.C. (6) The adjusting screw on the end of the ball joints should be made with a small square head instead of a large hexagon one. Mr. Royce considers that it is our established standard practice to use small heads on all adjusting screws.
