| r 659 To EJJ. From Hs {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} /Ryce. Hs {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} /Ryce.4/MJ.20.12.33. 83269 KESTREL 6 CYL. UNIT. The transmission on the 6 cyl. unit has been modified by the replacement of J.7918 and J.7922 by EX.10670. We should like to replace the existing gear coupling by a Hardy coupling and at the same time to arrange for sufficient longitudinal movement of the coupling to enable the engine to be unbolted and the coupling moved back to clear. This is extremely urgent. We should also like to point out that we are nearing the capacity of the existing brake. Hs {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} /R.S.Royce. | ||
