| 841 + 841. To By/Ald.{F. Allwood - Experimental Design} Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/JBD.{John B. Dixon - Fuel Systems}4/JH.13.12.38. B.V. & B.50. Servo. It is essential that we have one of the new detachable type servos for rig testing and the only gearbox that will be available is one of the obsolete B.III boxes fitted with the non detachable servo. Could you please give us a scheme showing the modification which we believe is possible whereby the old type servo driving shaft could be adapted to carry the detachable servo. As this is only for rig work the rather thin driving flange would not matter. Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/JBD.{John B. Dixon - Fuel Systems} | ||
