| Y8320 To BY.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} from A.J.Stent. c. to CJ. hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} S E C R E T. ST1/M15.3.24. E.A.C.2. SIMPLIFIED STRIKING MECHANISM. X.8320. We send herewith LeC.1907 shewing a simplified scheme to take the place of the existing one. The tower carrying the striking lever fulcrum has been eliminated to allow the top of the box to be machined right across in one plane. The new fulcrum and sliding shaft casing consists of an aluminium box in which is bolted a steel tube. The box carries the centreing spring in a manner similar to that shewn on LeC.1897. The centres on this drawing have been traced from old blue prints, and they may require slight re-adjustment when being set out at Derby. A.J.Stent. | ||
