| To Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} from E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} X. 3592. E2/M9.6.22. GOSHAWK BENDIX. X. 3592. We should be glad if you would inform us how the matter of the Goshawk Bendix stands at the present moment. It will be remembered that we instructed schemes some time ago to overcome sticking, one being the pinion striking normal surfaces when thrown out, and the other being a different angle of thread. As I wish to take up the point with Mr. Royce I would like to know how the matter stands in Derby. E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} | ||
