Lidsey} ------------------------- Will you kindly get out schemes for locking the float chamber lids on both chassis, in a similar manner to that adopted on the "Eagle" Aero engines, as we have had one or two instances of the lids working loose. E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} suggests we should get out designs. When same are ready, I propose to submit same to West WitteringHenry Royce's home town, and upon getting consent, go ahead at once. . BY.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} | ||
