| TO D.R. from E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} Copy to C.J. " " WOR.{Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager} " " HS.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} " " H.V. " " REP. X.4265 COPY Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} MAR 8 21 E6/C7/3/21 RECEIVED RECEIVED X.4265 RE "GOSHAWK II" SIDE STEERING TUBE. Referring to N scheme 754, Mr. Royce thinks that this is now generally satisfactory, but there are two points he would like made similar to the "Buzzard", as follows:- (1) The forward ball joint should be horizontal in side elevation. (2) The forward ball joint should be inclined 2½° outwards looking forward in the plan view. Would you kindly make these alterations, and proceed. E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} | ||
