Draper - Frames} Copy to EV.{Ivan Evernden - coachwork} Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Ashby 2006 EV{Ivan Evernden - coachwork}/JD.{J. Draper - Frames}11/ET.29.4.41. LAUNCHING WINCH. As all work on the winch is likely to be held up for a time, we feel that prints should be obtained from the projects that we had almost completed, for record purposes, in case of fire due say to enemy action. Although most of these designs are now incorrect due to later developments, there is a lot of ground work done that we should not like to lose. Will Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/HH. please therefore obtain prints of the following for EV.{Ivan Evernden - coachwork} Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Ld. and Ashby, and return the originals to EV{Ivan Evernden - coachwork}/JD{J. Draper - Frames}:- PL.508 - Arrangement of Winch on a 5 ton R.A.F. Trailer Chassis - 2 sheets. PL.511 - Drum for Wire Cable - Winch. PL.514 Screw Gear for Drum Winding Carriage. PL.515 - Flanges connecting Driving and Driven Units to Fluid Coupling. PL.660 - Reduction Gear - Winch. PL.661 - Gear Paying in Rollers and Cable Brake - Winch. PL.662 - Alternative Cable Brake - Winch. PL.663 - Drum Winding in Carriage - Winch. EV{Ivan Evernden - coachwork}/JD{J. Draper - Frames} | ||
