| To DA.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} from E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} Copy to C.J. " " W.M. " " HS.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} " " BY.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} ORIGINAL XC4232 RE LUBRICATION OF OIL PUMP DRIVE - "GOSHAWK II". We send you herewith drawing Lec.1478 shewing the over-flow pipe from the pump discharging into the oil pump drive gear case. The aluminium flange on the inner side of the ball journal has been altered so that the hole in it is now only large enough to pass the driving gear wheel. Also, drain holes have been provided to run excess oil back into the wheelcase. E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} | ||
