| To Da.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} from E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} c. to CJ. c. to Wor.{Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager} c. to Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} c. to BY.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} c. toWS. X4260 E2/G19.11.21. GOSHAWK 11 - REVISED FRONT DUMB IRON. X.4260. We send you herewith drawing LeC.1487 shewing modified method of attaching the front dumb iron to the frame, using two short bolts and four rivets. To obtain a position for the bolts as near to the end as possible necessitates finishing the inside of the dumb iron stamping with a cutter of the size shewn on the drawing. It is doubtful whether this cutter is sufficiently practical and we should like the opinion of the Tool Dept. on this point. E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} | ||
