| -5- PETROL PIPING - Cont'd.{John DeLooze - Company Secretary} RH.{R. Hollingworth} will produce the remainder of the petrol system and having done so will show it to Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} and Ev.{Ivan Evernden - coachwork} for their approval. It is suggested that the best way to get this pipe perpetuated is for RH.{R. Hollingworth} to hand it to HH. who will detail it. CENTRALISED CHASSIS LUBRICATION. Tecalemit centralised chassis lubrication will be the final thing to be fitted. HH. will line up the drawings which have already been issued on this, and issue an L.O.P. covering the installation for this particular car. CENTRALISED LUBRICATION TO THE TOP END OF THE YOKE PIVOT. FJH.{Fred J. Hardy - Chief Dev. Engineer} will issue a report on this subject which will decide whether we use flexible pipes or coil pipes at this point. REAR SHOCK DAMPERS. These are not oil controlled. The latest scheme for Gordon Armstrong dampers is at present being detailed and will be issued in time for RH.{R. Hollingworth} to fit them on the return of the chassis. The levers are a long job. As soon as the details are available RH.{R. Hollingworth} should produce them and send them to Gordon Armstrong's to be fitted. PRESSURE PIPING. Will not be required. FRONT STABILIZER. O.K. CHEAPENED SPARE WHEEL CARRIER. Ev.{Ivan Evernden - coachwork} pointed out that this might require new wings. He will, however, complete the job. as soon as possible and if it cannot be fitted to Ripplet it may be fitted to Ripplette. | ||
