Eric Platford - Chief Quality Engineer}3/W18614. I have received the above, but the spanner does not appear to be exactly on the lines of the original idea. It may be an improvement, but at present I cannot see it. The jaw at each end of the spanner should be the same size, so that two tappets can be locked at once. I shall be glad to hear further from you on this matter. EP.{G. Eric Platford - Chief Quality Engineer} [Stamp: W.M. 10 JUL 1914] [Watermark: 1804] [Watermark: MADE AT CROXLEY] | ||
