| To By.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} c. to E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} XN166 Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Bwg.{J. C. Bowring}11/JH.10.3.36. Ph.III Hydraulic Jack Operation Instruction Plate. On Lec.5005 is shown the suggested instruction plate for the operation of the jacks, the wording of which we consider is rather misleading. We have taken this up with E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} who agrees that we should adopt the wording as laid out on the attached drawing. One other point is that the control knobs on Lec.5005 are marked "REAR ON" "RELEASE OPEN" "FRONT ON", these should be altered to "REAR OPEN" "RELEASE OPEN" and "FRONT OPEN". Will you please instruct for this change and notify Sessions as to the wording of the control knob as he is awaiting our final decision. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/J.Bowering. | ||
