| RHC.{R. H. Coverley - Production Engineer} X 222 Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}1/KW.28.5.34. Terraplane Engine Mounting on the Bentley, B-23-AE. Now that we have the improved pedal operation the one point outstanding on this mounting is a stay for the back of the gearbox, as on 20-G.IV. The stay on 20-G.IV, however, is not strong enough in compression, and bends. An ideal stay would be a small edition of the shock absorber link which we made to hold up the silencer. Could you please rig up something for us. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} | ||
