RECEIVED Z 524 STAMP: 9 JAN This column is for Name of Person addressed. Ref. 88. Mr Hudin Mr Platford. Mr Evernden. DATE. 8/1/12. TBB17/L8112. Mr Johnson wishes to have the opinion of the Committee on the Lentz hydraulic gear. I do not think this is worth calling a meeting for, and propose you will let me have any remarks on the gear that you have to make, in order that I may forward them to Mr Johnson. You will remember that this gear was discussed shortly at one or two meetings, but we did not have any description or drawings of the gear for our guidance, and I think the personal opinion of each member should be recorded. T B Barrington EP{G. Eric Platford - Chief Quality Engineer}4/T10112 Mr Barrington. DATE. 10.1.12 Handwritten: Copy sent K.W.J. 15.1.12 With reference to the above I did not think much of this, it seemed too inefficient and in my opinion it seems probable that it would get worse in respect with wear. E.P. This sheet must be filed with the correspondence to which it refers. | ||
