| Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}8/ET.11.8.41 - 4 - 26 - SECOND REAR AXLE FOR MYTH. This will be brought up again at the next meeting. 27 - SPECIFICATION OF NEW SENIOR RANGE CHASSIS. This has not yet been dealt with but will proceed. 28 - STIFFNESS OF MYTH FRAME. Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} has written to Ward, asking him to let us have the frame at Derby. When it arrives, the stiffness can be taken. 29 - MORRIS CARBURETTER. This will be brought up at the next meeting. 30 - RUBBER CONNECTIONS FOR REAR END OF TORQUE ARM. Samples were exhibited that have been removed from LP.{Mr Lappin}'s car after 45,000 miles running, and had failed. Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} will ask Dodd to give a report, and Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Sym. will check one or two of the experimental cars that have covered the biggest mileage. 31 - FOUR CYLINDER MOTOR CAR. We have now reached a point on this car when we can get no further with the engine smoothness, unless we run on drums we have not yet got. The next thing to be tried, therefore, is the S.U. induction system. Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/CTS.{C. Trot Salt - Carburation} will get the light gudgeon pins that Jar. has drawn. | ||
