Coverley - Production Engineer} from Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} X4117 Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}7/AD 8.11.31. MR. FAIREY'S CAR. This car is coming in next week to have stronger valve springs fitted. At the same time we want to fit ribbed brake drums. The rear drums we would like are the Lake & Elliott cast iron ribbed drum of which there are a pair available but without end plates. We should be obliged if you could get these fitted up. For the front drums we should like the pair of high carbon steel drums, which are available, to be utilised. When we fit these ribbed drums to the car we should like also to fit a pair of 35° ball bearing servo cams. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} | ||
