| X 240. To Hy.{Tom Haldenby - Plant Engineer} from E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} E.1/HP.20.3.33. c. Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} re Minutes of Conference at Derby Thursday March 9th 1933. Referring to your memo Hy.{Tom Haldenby - Plant Engineer}2/GR.{George Ratcliffe}13.3.33, the last, but one, paragraph on page 2 should read: "E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} said he can easily raise the factor of safety on this feature by putting up the load on the circlip, and this should cure the trouble" We do not propose any alteration to the strength, that is, the section of the circlip. In our memo to the Experimental department E.1/HP.8.3.33. we have asked for appropriate tests to be made on Bensport engine. | ||
