Hallam - Head Repairs} [crossed out] MARTINDALE File 306 18.12.36. PHANTOM III & WRAITH II HAND BRAKE LEVERS. With reference to R/HDY.{William Hardy}2/HP.17.12.36 we would agree the grinding and polishing of the channel section of this lever be discontinued. We also suggest the actuating rod and nuts be left a dull nickel finish. This will also save chromium plating and polishing. If this is agreed to the necessary steps will be taken to adjust our bonus times accordingly. RHC{R. H. Coverley - Production Engineer}/TVT.{T. V. Turner} JWJ | ||
