| X4704 To RHC.{R. H. Coverley - Production Engineer} Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Std.2/KW16.1.34. We wish to try a set of plungers for the Vulture Automatic Tappet Head with the clearance in plunger casings increased to .0015". Will you please have made for this purpose a set of plungers (to E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} 84412 & E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} 84411) but with plunger diameter reduced from 0.6245" to 0.6240. These plungers are urgently required in order to get the automatic tappet head on the Vulture engine. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/C.S. Steadman. | ||
