| X4264 Mr Booth from BY. {R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} c. Hs. {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} X4264 BY2-P6.10.21. GOSHAWK 11. STEERING COLUMN. I believe we have recently reduced the clearance very considerably on the 40/50 Steering Column in the top bearing for the controls. Please confirm that this has actually been done, and note that on Goshawk 11, exactly the same clearance must be maintained as on the improved 40/50. Kindly arrange to alter any drawings which have been issued which are not in accordance with this instruction. BY. {R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} | ||
