| FROM E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} J.{Mr Johnson W.M.} 3. FAN MOUNTING. E4/W14.3.32. X5270. Now that we have made more drawings of the front of the engine and seen the engine itself, we want to reverse the hand of the fan bracket as shown on print of LeC. 3003. attached. With the present arrangement the ignition tower and fan adjustment, although clear, look too close together. The present fan mounting pieces are all 20/25., but we should only want one new piece, the spindle forging. E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} | ||
