| To RHC.{R. H. Coverley - Production Engineer} + 3807 Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Smth.10/KW.2.3.35. Bentley Stiffer Rear Main Bearing. --------------------------- The Scheme for this, LeC.4350, is undergoing modifications round the flywheel flanges. When these are complete we shall want a crankcase and crankshaft making accordingly. If you have any partly machined crankshafts which will modify to LeC.4350, will you please hold them up. If existing narrow pin shaft billets will not machine to LeC.4350, will you please modify future billets so that they will do so. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Smth. Att: LeC.4350. | ||
