W/G - Mr. Vickers. (Foundry). Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/CTS.{C. Trot Salt - Carburation}9/JH.11.1.40. Chassis Programme. B.40 3.500 bore cyliner. We are sending you herewith, two prints of the following drawing :- RE.112 crankcase & cylinders. This crankcase apart from the cylinder bore, is in every other respect similar to RE.107 (75 m/m bore). Further to our previous correspondence we would be much obliged if you would give us the present position regard the "Alum 3". Also, we would like to know how you are progressing with the jobs issued to you in our memo. - Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}1/MH.{M. Huckerby}11.12.39. Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}2/MH.{M. Huckerby}15.12.39. Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/CTS.{C. Trot Salt - Carburation}1/BA.2.1.40. NOTE. It is important that RE.112 should if possible be produced from the same patterns as RE.107. Before proceeding therefore with RE.112, will you please confirm that the pattern can be made convertable for both jobs. Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/CTS.{C. Trot Salt - Carburation} | ||
