| X5370 To BY.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} From Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rn.{Mr Robinson} c. to BY/TWD.{T. W. D???Aeith} Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rn.{Mr Robinson}2/MJ.22.5.30. 20 HP. CHASSIS SERVO LININGS. x)370. With reference to BY12/G.21.5.30. The Cotton-Duck was run on the 20 HP. with normal rivets. We agree, however, that the staple method of fixing which we ran on the last 40/50 test is preferable and we think that the use of staples is justified. The Bijur lubrication was not fitted to supply oil to the fabric. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rn.{Mr Robinson} | ||
