Will you please instruct one anchor ring G.5168 to be made with the modifications as indicated on the sketch below. This modification consists of removing the internal beading on the web, and machining the web on both sides to a thickness of .125+10. The object of this experiment is to make certain whether or not we can use up a quantity of forgings which have already been made, but which will not machine up to our present drawings. The experiment itself is most urgent as we are at the present time short of these parts. BY/RB.{R. Bowen} .500R .125 +.10 SECTION AA{D. Abbot-Anderson} RRB | ||
