| X238 RHC. {R. H. Coverley - Production Engineer} from Hs {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} /Rm. {William Robotham - Chief Engineer} Hs {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} /Rm. {William Robotham - Chief Engineer} 3/KT.23.3.33. CONTROL OF SHOCK DAMPERS. Hdy. {William Hardy} has asked us to try a new type of valve for the controllable shock absorbers. We attach his sketch to N.sch.3670. As we only want to use them on the rig to start with, we suggest that you might like to make them with the minimum amount of machining rather than have them fully detailed by BY. {R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} We therefore hand you the scheme. Hs {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} /Rm. {William Robotham - Chief Engineer} | ||
