| To EH.) from E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} ORIGINAL E2/B2:7:17. 3 X.3114 Re Aluminium Crankcase Slings. With reference to the aluminium loops we are putting on the crankcase for carrying the weight of the engine, I think it would be worth while to take an unfinished casting and test it statically, to see at what load the aluminium loops give way. Perhaps you could arrange to carry this out. RECEIVED E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} D 18 VIII | ||
