R2/M23.3.25. E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} A.{Mr Adams} C. 'V' SERIES SHUTTER CONTROL. X. 8240 X. 8250 I have written elsewhere about the shutter control. It seems an easy matter to make it like the Goshawk carburetter control. Can we not fix the position of the instrument board by our own brackets, like Goshawk, and other makes of chassis. There can be only one best position for the instrument board for each type of steering. R.{Sir Henry Royce} | ||
