To By/Ald.{F. Allwood - Experimental Design} from Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Std. 1158 Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Std.8/MH.{M. Huckerby}3.2.38. CAR HEATER - SCD.221. We have tested out an experimental car heater to SCD.221 and find that the bearings are very noisy. Will you please scheme and detail a plain bearing using plastic material similar to that used for gear blanks and making the minimum necessary alterations to the heater. Will you also please detail a blower fan similar to that fitted to the heater but fitted with a hub and grub-screw so that it is detachable. Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Std. | ||
