| EH. from E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} ORIGINAL. F4/W17.11.17. 4. X. 3214 X. 2768 Re - Chassis Float Chamber. Mr. Royce wishes me to send you a scheme he has conceived for combining both spring and weight pressure on the float chamber needle, so that it will be suitable for resisting high speed vibrations whicg might jump it off its seat, and also operate normally as a weighted needle. This is as shown in the sketch. Would you kindly make a trial of this idea in accordance with his instructions. RECEIVED 10 OCT 1917 E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} | ||
