| X8370 W/S (G) c. to Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} BY6/G.24.3.27. Referring to your memo C2/C22.2.27. asking us to prepare a key card for adding flexibility to Servo Shaft in accordance with the latest scheme i.e. the steel plate scheme, we have now had an opportunity of going into this job and find that we cannot fit the steel plate scheme without fitting new servo shafts, and we therefore suggest that for cases of complaint we fit the rubber scheme as we have done in previous instances. If you agree we will have a further free of charge card prepared on these lines. BY.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} | ||
