| To CWB. from Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} f8950 x235 Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}4/LG9.7.28. With reference to the dampers on 29-CL. Have you realised the difficulty of removing the front dampers now that torque control has been adopted? We are sending you the necessary parts, but wanted to make sure that you realise that removing these fittings is very difficult and if it has not previously been tackled in London, it may take some little time. Where shall we send the bits - Conduit St.{Capt. P. R. Strong} or Lillie Hall? Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} | ||
