| R.R. 235 s (20m T) (S.E. 627, 21-2-18) G.{Mr Griffiths - Chief Accountant / Mr Gnapp} 2129 MEMO from BY.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} c. EEC. September 24, 1918. BY10/P24918. RE MAGNETO BRACKETS - X.3293. EAGLE ENGINE. Some six months ago we instructed as an experiment a special magneto bracket E.15774/5. The object of making the alteration was to facilitate the production of the part by using a common pin for the two straps which come between the two magnetos. Apparently nothing has been heard of this matter since. Would you kindly look into same without delay and let us have a report. In view of the sub-contractors difficulties in machining the present lugs, every effort should be made to introduce the new scheme without delay. I cannot issue standardisation sheets until I have your report. BY.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} | ||
