| X1325 To RHC.{R. H. Coverley - Production Engineer} Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Gry.{Shadwell Grylls}8/KW.28.8.36. We are very anxious to be able to use the Trebel balancing machine for balancing Ph.III propellor shafts. At the moment it is in pieces while new parts are being made to enable Ph.III crankshafts to be balanced. It seems likely that it will be a long time before these parts are ready. We should be glad therefore if you would rebuild the machine with the old parts, so that we can carry out our immediate testing requirements. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Gry.{Shadwell Grylls} | ||
