R.R. 235 - (200 T) (S.F. 874, 28-5-19) G.{Mr Griffiths - Chief Accountant / Mr Gnapp} 2376 Ck.{Mr Clark} from BY.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} BY2/P27.8.19. X.2641 CHASSIS - STARTER GEAR. RE PUSH BUTTON SWITCHES. Referring to your memo EFC4/T20819, and dealing particularly with the last paragraph, I wish to point out that you are placing a responsibility upon the D.O. which we are not supposed to carry. The question of the pieces being finished to drawing is essentially an Inspection Department job. We therefore suggest that under such conditions any experimental piece submitted to you should be certified as correct to drawing by the Inspection Department. BY.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} By | ||
