In connection with EPL/H231023, we would like to suggest the use of soft aluminium washers produced from annealed sheet. The washers in question appear to be quite satisfactory on Aero Engine work and possibly would be equally satisfactory on the 20HP. We would suggest that the Experimental Department try out the proposal. 3gII BY. {R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} | ||
