Referring to Rm{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}/NRC.{N. R. Chandler}8/MH.{M. Huckerby}16.2.38, I consider in addition to K.{Mr Kilner} and N. being supplied with a rig, NRC.{N. R. Chandler} should get in touch with Borg & Beck and point out the advantages of it, and suggest they either make one or obtain one from us, as all clutches could be tried beofre despatch, and we need only check say 1 in 10. The advantage of testing on the same type of rigs is, disputes cannot arise owing to the test fixtures. BY.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} | ||
