| 850 To By/Ald.{F. Allwood - Experimental Design} from Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/FJH.{Fred J. Hardy - Chief Dev. Engineer} Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/FJH.{Fred J. Hardy - Chief Dev. Engineer}1/MH.{M. Huckerby}21.4.39. B.50 STEERING. We wish to try on a B.50 steering 3/4° castor angle. This would be obtained if instead of the present yokes FB.4142/3 we fitted yokes with the pivot pin holes bored to the same angles as shown on FB.3675/6. Will you please make drawings similar to FB.4142/3 but showing the revised angles as above and instruct one pair of yokes. This job is urgent. Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/FJH.{Fred J. Hardy - Chief Dev. Engineer} | ||
