To CWB. from EFC. c. to BY.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} EP.{G. Eric Platford - Chief Quality Engineer} X4179 EFC1/LG19.2.29. CHASSIS 1-AL. Answering your CWB2/CD16.2.29. It appears, on enquiry, that this is one of other similar cases which have occasionally occurred. I am decidedly of the opinion that there should be no uncovered live parts under the bonnet or even at the back of the instrument board. We have already covered some which have led to trouble (shorts) and I consider the Klaxon Co. should be approached as suggested. We are taking the necessary steps. EFC. | ||
