| To By.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} from Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Std. c. to By/CS. c. to By/HBB. 200B also. 605 405 Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Std.2/AP.25.1.38 We have taken up with Messrs.Ferodo Ltd., the question of the width of the special S.6891 bonnet rest strip for Wraith and B.III. They state that their tools are such that the weave width is .875 - in order to avoid making new tools they suggest that we modify the width of the slots in our rest angles to suit this width. Will you therefore please alter the width of the slots on the details from .875 to .925 - both for Wraith and B.III. radiator and dashboards. Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Std. | ||
