X4254 GOSHAWK II - SLIDING & UNIVERSAL COUPLING. We understand that the teeth of the sliding portion of this joint from LeC.1363 are not made exactly to this instruction, because no cutter is available. As there should be no difficulty in cutting them in the manner indicated on the LeC, if a special cutter is obtained, we suppose that such a cutter will be placed on order so that this joint can be made to the LeC drawing as soon as possible.
