| -2- Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/JBD.{John B. Dixon - Fuel Systems}3/MH.{M. Huckerby} The alteration to the trunnion we have asked for should only be sufficient to enable the pump to work at 6 volts with as little limitation to the over run stroke as possible. This should not then bring up added complications of noise or undue load on the thread of the spindle. We still require drawings showing the Bentley Pump, Spring clip for the valve cage, valve cage and impact washer. Also assembly of the coil in the unit and 25/30 pump body, these will complete the set for our Inspection Department and we will be obliged if you send these. Yours faithfully, for ROLLS-ROYCE LTD. | ||
