Bailey - Chief Engineer} J.{Mr Johnson W.M.} 3. FAN MOUNTING. X.5220 Now that we have made more drawings of the front of the engine and seen the engine itself, we want to reverse the hand of the fan bracket as shewn on print of LeC.3003 attached. With the present arrangement the ignition tower and fan adjustment, although clear, look too close together. The present fan mounting pieces are all 20/25., but we should only want one new piece, the spindle forging. E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} | ||
