Coverley - Production Engineer} (1 print). c. to EFC. {E. Fowler Clarke - Electrical Engineer} Da {Bernard Day - Chassis Design} 2/CB7.12.20. X.3540. RE PENDULUM LEVER - GOSHAWK. X.4264. We do not like the present pendulum lever N.288, and wish to substitute for it a modified design, which we shew on "N" scheme 675. The modification is in the shank and does not effect the machining at all. Would you please put through a new detail in accordance with "N" scheme 675, of which two prints are attached, as this lever will also be used on "kite". Da. {Bernard Day - Chassis Design} | ||
