| - 2 - EXPERIMENTAL BY/WER7/EF29. 4. 21 - Contd. It will be found on assembling this Gear that the Actuator Box D.{John DeLooze - Company Secretary} 1431/2 is very close to the boss on the side of the Crankcase which takes the Oil Pump Drive. This is due to an error of drawing of the relative positions as shewn on LeC 1192. It is of course impossible to move the Oil Pump Drive and the scheme by which we have modified the LeC has been approved by Da.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} The Gear will of course function correctly, the only point being that the Actuator Box is somewhat crowded on to the boss on the Crankcase, but, as only one "Goshawk" I is being produced this is not a matter of great importance.
