| To RHC.{R. H. Coverley - Production Engineer} X1166 Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Bwg.{J. C. Bowring}8/KW. 2.12.35. Bentley Jacking Pad. With reference to Jacking Pad Ex.20914, in order to make a neater job of this pad we should like to try it in the form of a casting, either in Alum. bronze or Gunmetal Bronze, whichever you recommend. We should like the Boss which fits to the Pad Plate FB.955 enlarged to give a better bearing surface. This of course will mean that the clearance in the spring gaiter will have to be increased and also it may be necessary to increase the diameter of the pad plate carrier boss. Will you please have made 2 of these pads complete with dull plate finish. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/J.Bowering. | ||
