| 8141. To HEC. From Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Gry.{Shadwell Grylls} Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Gry.{Shadwell Grylls}9/WJ.1.6.33. MULTIPLATE SERVO PEREGRINE. We suffer from bad front brake thumps with this servo due we think to the spring plates being too stiff. They suddenly toggle over bringing on the brakes with a thump. Otherwise it is an excellent servo. Will you please prepare some plates to the attached sketch of the same thickness as those fitted. We will then let you have 4 Per.11 in the shop so that they can be fitted with the minimum of delay. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/H.Grylls. Attached print. N.Sch.3612. | ||
