| - 2 - EP{G. Eric Platford - Chief Quality Engineer}4/H10.7.24. No. 37. Contd. with a view to some alteration being made to overcome the "camshaft squeak" as previously reported, which I believe is also their trouble and which we have not been able to overcome by this modification. No. 38. USE OF "BONE GREY" FIBRE FOR SLIPPER FLYWHEEL WASHERS. I do not agree to this. The experience we have had with the "bone grey" fibre which we have handled is that is gives the same trouble as we have experienced with the red fibre. I consider they should be instructed to use Bakelite material. No. 39. ALTERATIONS TO SCREW THREADS. I agree as per E's memo. EP.{G. Eric Platford - Chief Quality Engineer} | ||
