To BY.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} from Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/GWH.{George W. Hancock - Head Chateauroux} X8205 Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/GWH{George W. Hancock - Head Chateauroux}1/LG4. 7. 27. PHANTOM RELIEF VALVE. With the results taken on the unit test bed, we are of the opinion that we should retain springs E.76290 for rocker and gear valves. The bow spring material supplied to the Works is not so flexible as those made for the first experimental valves. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/G.W.Hancock. | ||
