| To By.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} from Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Std. 3248 Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Std.6/MH.{M. Huckerby}3.1.381 We attach herewith two marked up prints showing the important pulley Vee dimensions to suit the Ferodo belt for Ph.III. Will you please detail the pulleys requested in memo Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/Std.8/MH.{M. Huckerby}22.12.37, in accordance with these marked up prints. The same pulleys will then be used for both new cars and customers' complaints. For future cars, will you please increase the length of the fan spindle adjusting slot (in the wheel case) in a downwards direction so that the maximum amount of slackening off can be obtained when fitting a new belt.
