Hollingworth} Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/JBD.{John B. Dixon - Fuel Systems}20/JH.21.7.39. Ripple Drums. Owing to a mistake at the Pattern shop the Ripple drums for 12.B.V. did not have the ribs cast in as asked for on the drawing EXS.1755. We have written to Sft{Mr Swift}/EW. asking for the patterns to be made to drawing and Vickers has agreed to make us 4 more drums when this is done if we will supply brake end plates. These drums to be only machined where specified on the drawing. Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/JBD.{John B. Dixon - Fuel Systems} | ||
