Coverley - Production Engineer} from Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}2/KT.28.7.33. HIGH LIFT ROCKERS - P.II. You will recollect that some time ago you made two sets of high lift rockers, one set on phosphor bronze and one set in steel. The steel set was fitted to Mr. Fairey's car. We now find that the phosphor bronze will not stand up to the speeds which we are at present running. Will you therefore please produce a set of these rockers in steel. We hand you one herewith as a model. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} | ||
