Phantom.II. Chassis. Starter Motor Pinion. Referring to BY/RD3/W.19.10.33. we have received instructions for a Starter Motor Pinion D.74008 to be made in N.C.M. Apparently this is intended to be N.M.C. Experience obtained in the production of aero engine valve inserts in this material, indicates the impracticability of producing the pinion referred to. Therefore, we recommend that no further action should be taken. RHC.{R. H. Coverley - Production Engineer} | ||
