| 86004 By {R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} /RD. From Hs {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} /Wst. Hs {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} /Wst.5/MA.21.7.33. BENTLEY REV COUNTER. In our Hs {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} /Wst.2/MA.12.7.33., we omitted to state in the last paragraph that the limits given should be at a maximum instrument temperature of 30°C. which is very important, hence our later instruction Hs {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} /Wst.3/MA.13.7.33. During a conversation with Mr.Arrowsmith of the A.T. Co., who was with us yesterday we raised the question of the ± 2% limit and he definitely stated that he could and would produce our instruments correct to our figures allowing of course for the 2% temperature variation. Our figure therefore if "not more than 1100 R.P.M." should stand as this relieves the test dept. of having to consider the temperature error. Hs {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} /Wst. | ||
