| - 17 - Title. Rec. L.C.D.P. Rear Shock Damper. 7153 F.79925. This matter was discussed at some length, and since the Meeting Hy.{Tom Haldenby - Plant Engineer} has consulted with Cy. On further consideration, it appears that floorboards must be made removable for access to dampers. Providing easier access to inner valves appears to require attention. Hy.{Tom Haldenby - Plant Engineer} will investigate. CY. STATES: (N) Filling Damper, without removing from car. Like 4048R. (Floor often not removable far enough back.) Front Axle Damper. 7160 F.79507. Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} stated that we have every reason to believe the C.C.L. is effective to the front axle damper upper ball, but he will investigate to make certain that it is effective. CY. STATES: Is C.C.L. effective to upper ball? Horn & Fittings. 7340 P.80799. Hy.{Tom Haldenby - Plant Engineer} was asked to get in touch with Messrs. Lucas and any other Makers (Graham's was also suggested) with regard to horns of the vibration type. Cy. mentioned objections to Klaxon as tone and need for lubrication and adjustment. Sparton "S.D. de luxe" was mentioned, and Hy.{Tom Haldenby - Plant Engineer} will get sample. Verrey Minutes state: "Klaxon to be supplied until a type of horn to be approved by Cy. has been tested." CY. STATES: (N) Test of various horns. Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} asks test of samples. Spanners & Tools. 7400 F.80797. Wcr. suggested a small Committee composed of Cy. Hy.{Tom Haldenby - Plant Engineer} E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} Mr. Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} and Wx. be formed, and for all tools to be laid out before the Members, so that each tool could be carefully considered. This was agreed to. It was thought this Committee should meet at the earliest moment, and Hy.{Tom Haldenby - Plant Engineer} was asked to convene the Meeting. Spares. 7420 F.80798. CY. STATES: (A-P) Proposed reduction in Tool Kit. Necessary to decide for R.F.P.II and L.H.F.II. (1) Essential Car tools. (2) Essential Garage Tools. (3) Tools not needed. Contd..... | ||
