Leslie} from Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}3/AD26.8.32. 25 HP. BUMP CHASSIS Some special road springs have come in for this chassis - one set from Messrs. Woodhead and the second set from Samuel Fox, Sheffield. We are arranging with RHC.{R. H. Coverley - Production Engineer} to fit the Woodhead springs to begin with and these should be bumped at the first opportunity. It appears that we shall possibly wish to run both our drums bumping and therefore we should make sure that there is a second set of cams for the rig in the Tomb. It appears that Peregrine will occupy one rig continuously for some time. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} | ||
