| To BY.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} from E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} c. to CJ. Wor.{Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager} c. to HS.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} EF. EFC. X4084 E1/M1.11.22. LEC.1649 - BOX OF SMALL TOOLS AND SPARES FOR GOSHAWK. X.4083 X.4084. We send you here-with above drawing showing a box containing the following spares :- 1 head lamp. 1 side lamp. 1 tail lamp. 1 instrument board lamp. L.T. contact screw. L.T. contact rocker arm. 1 set of feeler gauges. 1 box spanner for distribution board. Standard 5 BA spanner for adjusting L.T. contacts. File for cleaning L.T. contacts. Complete set of dynamo brushes. 1 spare fuse carrier. We should be glad if you would have a model made up to this drawing to show what the box of spares will be like. The mouldings for the trays should be in some cheap light material, not bakelite. There are many other moulding materials besides bakelite in use, some of which are cold moulded. Some light fabrous plaster might possibly do. The trays should be faced with some suitable material such as stockinette which would stretch over the varying shapes and recesses required. Packing is employed in the lid{A. J. Lidsey} so as to hold the contents of the trays tightly, and also underneath the removable section. Felt ought to do very well for this packing. For the purposes of the model the moulded portions of the box could be made in wood. E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} | ||
