BY.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} CY-BMS. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Fm. E/JMR.1/HP.18.6.38. Wraith II. We send you herewith the following drawings:- LeC.5182 - Rear engine support brackets. This cancels the previous brackets as shown on LeC.5014 due to making the front part of the frame narrower. LeC.5152 - Engine support brackets and torque reaction dampers, which supersedes previous designs LeC.5057 and LeC.5065. LeC.5130 - shewing the bottom water pipe, oil pump, and connections. It will be noticed that the relief valve has been deleted from the oil pump cover, as we are incorporating the relief valves with the oil cleaner on the side of the crankcase. LeC.5182 5152 5130 attached. E/JMR. | ||
