To RHC.{R. H. Coverley - Production Engineer} from Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} 78420 Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}2/LG14.7.25. 98-NK - PIVOT LEAN. We require to increase the backward pivot lean on 98-NK to 4°. We assume, that to do this, we shall require a taper of .400" on the standard packing. Will you please make us some packings for this job. If the standard packing pieces will not allow of such a large taper, and it is likely to take a certain amount of time to obtain fresh castings, we should like you to supply us with a couple of packing pieces milled to the maximum possible taper available.
