X.7230 X.3908 HEAT SHIELD FOR EAC.7. SILENCER. We thank you for your sch.915., and although we agree that it would clear the various obstructions, we think the brackets should be flexible in the longitudinal direction to allow for expansion. We therefore suggest on N.sch.2412., (herewith) that they should be fastened to the forged flange piece itself, suitable platforms being formed on this either in the forging or by welding. We think the strip brackets bent out of the square should not present any difficulty. DA.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} | ||
