| X8650 To E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} from R.{Sir Henry Royce} c.c. CJ. BY EFC. R2/M8.4.24. ACTUATOR MAGNET - RR. SEQUENCE STARTER X.9650. This seems much better for the small improvements. Possibly we might make a good job of the bobbin without the thread (rivet and sweat). It should be tested before making expensive tools, because the whole might have to be longer as it seems a long stroke for the length of the bobbin. Could you add say 1" if needed? I fear feeble pull at beginning of stroke. The division in the core looks right but might on test be found better with some other proportions. R.{Sir Henry Royce} | ||
