| R.{Sir Henry Royce} FROM E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} C. to P.I. " HS.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} " BX. EAC.10. EXHAUST PIPE FLANGE. ORIGINAL E1/M20.3.28. X7230 Please find herewith a blueprint of LeC. 2532., dealing with the above. We have shewn 2 schemes for modifying this flange to provide some tolerance for lineability of the flanges. Sch. A.{Mr Adams} shews a spherical washer bolted in the joint arranged so that the bolts pass through ears on the washer. Sch. B. shews a joint with no washer at all. The bolts are situated outside of the joint face, and the bolt lugs are made of suitable depth to withstand the overhung load. E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} | ||
