| c. to Hs. {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} X4238 BY {R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} /SS {S. Smith} 8/DB. {Donald Bastow - Suspensions} 15.11.23. RE 20 HP CHASSIS - EXHAUST PIPE - SEC:5230. X.4238. With reference to the recent distorted flange on the Exhaust Pipe, caused through tightening up the union nut with the Top Spherical Washer misplaced, Mr Bailey would like you to try out a larger washer, as shown on the attached print E.53114. With this washer we obtain increased spherical seating, which gives the washer a better chance to position itself. VY/SS. {S. Smith} | ||
