X. 8190 X. 2170 We send herewith the original of LeC. 2360 shewing the above. Mr. Royce approves of these being made in the form shewn on this drg., but he raises the question of the spigotting of the metal washer under the union. We should like to know the views of the Works on this question of how far the full thread can be carried up to a shoulder. E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} | ||
