Coverley - Production Engineer} Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} BY/Cgh.{W Clough}9/G.4.3.36. 25/30 and BENTLEY CHASSIS - STARTER MOTOR PINION. With reference to Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/FD.{Frank Dodd - Bodies}3/KW.20.2.36. in view of the fact that the proposal is to cut away about 75% of the bearing surface in the bush in question, we think it advisable to wait until the 10,000 miles test has been completed before we instruct the alteration for production. Incidentally, the bush will only be .025" thick where it is counterbored. BY/Cgh.{W Clough} | ||
