LOGG 6-30 To Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} from HPS{Horace Percy Smith - Experimental Factory Mgr}/FS.{F. Steele} c. to HPS.{Horace Percy Smith - Experimental Factory Mgr} HPS{Horace Percy Smith - Experimental Factory Mgr}/FS.{F. Steele}1/CB.26.1.37. WRAITH. We wish you to note that the main centre steering lever GW.1083 has been made from a hand forging. Also the cross steering tube sockets GW.1081/2 have been made from solid. On no account must these be used for high speed work, otherwise our responsibility ceases. We shall change these as soon as the correct forgings are available. F.{Mr Friese} Steele. | ||
