HDY.{William Hardy}1/MP.10.11.33. Damper Connecting Rod. With reference to the request by the Production Department that the cap of the connecting rod shown by N. Sch. 3860 should be modified so that it can be stamped vertically, we think that this is a case where the slight extra cost of making the piece as we prefer it should be incurred. Ws. has pointed out that the flat sided bosses are needed for production, and we have accordingly reverted to these as shown on N. Sch. 3875 herewith. HDY.{William Hardy} | ||
