COPY. R.R. 235 a (200 T) (S.F. 103. 25-10-18) G.{Mr Griffiths - Chief Accountant / Mr Gnapp} 2241. To Da.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} from Bn.{W.O. Bentley / Mr Barrington} c. to By.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} c. to EH. Bn{W.O. Bentley / Mr Barrington}5/W23.7.19. 23rd. July 1919. (1) X.342440/50 CHASSIS - RE NEW DESIGN OF BRACKET FOR HAND PUMP. X 3444 I believe you are re-designing the bracket for the hand pump, so that the pump may be dropped deeper into the instrument board. Will you please at the same time review very carefully the design of this bracket to enable the part which is in view to be finished with a good surface but without the expense of hand work. It might be worth while considering the use of die casting if the design can be suitably modified. Bn.{W.O. Bentley / Mr Barrington} | ||
