H. Coverley - Production Engineer}1/BE.21.10.29, in regard to the Nitro-Alloy camshaft, I have discussed this matter with H1. and we believe that by etching we can remove the extremely hard skin. H1. is carrying out further tests, and I do not think it would be advisable to drop the matter at the moment, and therefore recommend that we order material for a second set. BY.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} P.S. I have arranged for Mr Mannock of Messrs.Nitro-Alloy Ltd., to come over as soon as possible. | ||
