| X3456 To BY.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} from E/JNR.{Charles L. Jenner} E/JNR.{Charles L. Jenner}3/HP.25.1.33. c. Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} [STAMP: RECEIVED JAN 27 1933] re Peregrine Water Drain Cock. The bottom water pipe to RR. scheme 215 and having a more accessible drain/tap, which we showed on LeC.3343 has been made and is not a success, because the weight of the tap and the elbow is hanging on the two rubber connections, and therefore is too flexibly positioned. These parts should not be ordered up for production. In a few hours we will supply you with a new design - LeC.3361. E/JNR.{Charles L. Jenner} | ||
