To By.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} from Rg.{Mr Rowledge} c. Wor.{Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager} Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} X1360 Rel/LW.11. 1. 28 AERO ENGINES We think all the steel control parts on aero engines should be cadmium plated, standard as soon as possible. We find that engines in service look very bad due to rusting of these parts. We also wish to have the steel diffuser rings in the superchargers cadmium plated on our experimental blowers as soon as possible. Rg.{Mr Rowledge} | ||
