| X.4238 To BY. {R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} from E. {Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} c. to HS. {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} E2/M20.12.24. Re. 20 HP. EXHAUST DOWNTAGE SUPPORT, AND SLIDING SPHERICAL JOINT. X.4238 We send you herewith LeC.1937., shewing the revised design for the above, incorporating Mr. Royce's suggestions. A blue print of this drawing has been sent to Mr. Royce for his criticism. You will notice that we endeavour to use an existing spanner in the kit in dealing with the split nut on the spherical joint. The hole through the plate carried on the exhaust pipe should be slotted as shewn so that the central member of the friction unit will not lose position vertically. Any further comments we may receive from Mr. Royce will be dealt with and sent on to you. E. {Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} | ||
