(4) E.2/HP.10.10.32. (26) Central Lubrication. - By.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} will issue instructions on the lines of latest schemes got out for Peregrine and the 20/25, in which the olives scheme replaced soldered banjos wherever possible. (27) Hand Brake. - No pilot shoes should be used on the hand brake. (28) Front Engine Suspension. - Revised schemes will be required for this upon the lines of what will be decided for Peregrine. The latest schemes of Peregrine are practically completed. (29) Steering Column Controls. - By.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} will bring these up-to-date with the latest that have been issued for Peregrine. (30) Side Steering. - J.S. steering will be gone over to see that it is satisfactory in respect to giving the maximum lock. (31) Petrol Tank. - The position of the petrol tank is to be slightly modified to provide more clearance for the rear axle brake mechanism. (32) Clutch Pedal Mounting. - By.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} will produce a scheme scaled up from Peregrine to cover this item. (33) Accelerator Pedal. - By.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} will go over this design to bring it up-to-date with the latest W.W. drawing. (34) Front and Rear Damper. - These should be instructed so that they can have the governor control later fitted with the over-riding hand control as on Peregrine. (35) Spring Control, [handwritten: led] Rear Shackle. - This should be to N. Scheme 3453. (36) Electrical Installation. - This should be instructed to the designs got out for vibrator control dynamo. The instrument board should have the Smith patch and the modified switchbox similar to Peregrine. | ||
