Mr Ormerod. December 30. 1918. BY15/F301218. RE ELECTRICAL STARTERS FOR EAGLE ENGINES. X.3328 In view of the fact that the Technical Department have taken exception to our design for the above, on the ground that the motor cannot be removed from the engine while the engine is in position in the plane, I consider that we should reduce our experimental sets for the parts in question from three to one. Will you kindly see that instructions are issued for the various sections to cover this requirement. BY.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} | ||
