| X 502 W/LH.{Mr Haworth} - Mr. Hancock. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/FJH.{Fred J. Hardy - Chief Dev. Engineer}3/KW.7.4.36. 22-G-V Servo. Re your daily report sheet of 28/29/30.3.36 in which you mention that the friction device on the swinging arm is unsatisfactory owing to its working loose. Will you please let us know what worked loose and, if it was the nut which compresses the spring, whether there was a lock nut at this point. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/F.J.Hardy. | ||
