| To E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} from Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} c. to DA.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} c. to BY.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} X9770 Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}2/LG22.1.24. SECRET. E.A.C-1 ENGINE. X9300 X9770 We find that the inspection cover in the top half of the cover for the flywheel is not in the most convenient place. In the present position it is impossible for us to remove the clutch spring or to adjust the xx clutch levers. We recommend the inspection cover is raised about 1 1/4". There is also no drain hole in the bottom half cover. Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} | ||
