Eric Platford - Chief Quality Engineer} X4263 DA {Bernard Day - Chassis Design} 3/M6. 7.23. GOSHAWK 11. STEERING X.4263 X.205 We are not sure that we like the keys in the ball end on the pendulum lever shewn on F.51238 and originally instructed on our N.sch. and we should like to try an alternative method of stopping the ball end from turning. We shew this on N.sch.1432 and should like you to make an experimental piece of this for trial. We should also be glad if you would let us your comments on the question of cost. We realise that it will be more costly than Woodruff, but possibly not must more so. MADE AT CROXLEY DA. {Bernard Day - Chassis Design} | ||
