Lidsey}1/HP.30.1.36. re Modified Oil Feed to Hydraulic Tappet Mechanism - Phantom III It was agreed at the last conference between Experimental and Design Department that Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/GWH{George W. Hancock - Head Chateauroux} should be asked to examine the scheme of improved oil supply to the hydraulic tappet mechanism (Lec.4900) whilst running endurance on a test bed, with the object of ascertaining whether it overcomes the complaints registered during the last 10,000 miles test. Will you please arrange this. E/Lid.{A. J. Lidsey} | ||
