CHASSIS - LAGGING CLIPS ON EXHAUST PIPES. ---------------------------------------------------------- With reference to Sft.{Mr Swift}1/DH.{D. Henderson - Showroom}18.11.33. when writing our previous memo we had overlooked the parts which we have to produce in our own Works to make up complete clips of the RR.design, and in view of the saving which will be effected by adopting 'Jubilee' clips made of nickel silver, we propose to get a set made so that the Experimental Department can confirm that they will be satisfactory. If we change over to 'Jubilee' clips those used for lagging on the swan neck pipe should also be changed. These clips are at the present time bought out complete, although they are similar in design to those fitted on the downtake and intermediate pipes. The clip on the exhaust swan neck for the 40/50 HP. chassis is shown on drawing E.4176 - 2 off per chassis, and E.55934 - 2 off per chassis for the 20/25 HP. Will the Works compare the cost of these with the 'Jubilee' type of clip made in nickel silver. BY/Cgh.{W Clough} | ||
