RE WOODHEAD TYPE CLIP. --------------------------------------------- With reference to Wd{Mr Wood/Mr Whitehead}9/NJ. 16.2.25. I have examined the sample clip submitted by Messrs Woodhead and agree that the dimensions of the clip would fall within Mr.Royce's requirements. Whilst we askfor .600, we should consider .650 perfectly satisfactory, and Mr.Booth should modify his dimension to .650 wide, plus or minus 30. As pointed out by yourself, the finish of the clip can be easily improved upon, but from a point of view of dimensions, we consider the clip satisfactory. BY.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} RHy | ||
