Sec.6000. --------------------------- One thing which seems to have been missed in the meeting of April 10-16 seems to have been the fabric coupling. Would like to refer to your attention Oy1/DM.{D. Munro}12.4.30. In fewest words :- (1) We do not think the screwed ferrules are satisfactory and suggest rivets. (2) We do think that bulged fabric couplings are better than plain, but if so, we agree that Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}' joggling tests should prove it. Oy. Maurice Olley | ||
