| To By.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} from Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/GWH.{George W. Hancock - Head Chateauroux} Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/GWH.{George W. Hancock - Head Chateauroux}17/N.25.11.37. Can you please give me information on the following:- When can Kingsbury expect: (1) Improved joint washers for carburetters, to prevent distortion. (2) New type throttle springs for replacements. (3) Lower rated spring for pivoted brake shoe. Also can you please let me know whether any tests have been made with the suggestion I made to you with respect to reducing the diameter of the centre of the pin on the pilot shoe, to give more damping effect.
