| X. 8490 To BY.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} from DA.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} c. to Wor.{Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager} Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/GWH.{George W. Hancock - Head Chateauroux} DA{Bernard Day - Chassis Design}1/M15.1.27. PHANTOM EXHAUST CUTOUT. Referring to Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/GWH{George W. Hancock - Head Chateauroux}/LG13.1.27., we sent through a design - N.sch.2216 - about the end of June 1926., in which the front spring was deleted, and the toggling done near the silencer. We presume that this is what Mr. Hancock proposes, and that we shall be getting an experimental report in due course. DA.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} | ||
