| x7060 To RHC{R. H. Coverley - Production Engineer}, Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Smth.19/KW.24.10.34. Silent Tappets - Phantom II. We find that we shall probably require a greater clearance between the plungers and the casings when using the E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} 82448 camshaft than with E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} 80070. Will you therefore please modify one of the sets you are making to have 1 to 1 1/2 thous. clearance. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Smth. | ||
