Eric Platford - Chief Quality Engineer}20/MH.{M. Huckerby}25.2.36.) Dealing particularly with the Inlet Silencer Fixing, Item 5 ; from an examination of the design we feel satisfied that, since a stiffening piece is included in the interior of the silencer, larger rivets will overcome the trouble. We are, therefore, instructing the use of 7/32" instead of 5/32". BY.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} | ||
