| To BY/HEB.{H. Biraben} from Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} X8450 Y8430 Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rml/LG11.11.27. With reference to BY/HEB{H. Biraben}19/N9.11.27. We suggest that the details included in this memo. in order to get a spring of exactly 2000 lbs. rating in the side steering tube should be deleted and a spring with 1960 lbs. rating which can be used with the parts existing on F.76787 should be used for EAC.14 as well. The object of this is to reduce the present large number of different side steering tube ends. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} | ||
