r.v.87. To By.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} from Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} c. to E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}2/KT. 7.11.33. We have had considerable trouble when running endurance tests owing to the fibre washers between the floatchamber and throttle bodies collapsing. We think that soft aluminium washers should be used at this point (if not already instructed by D.O.). Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} | ||
