| To By.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} from Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} 8142. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer}15/AD21.11.32. PEREGRINE SHOCK ABSORBERS IN FRANCE This is to confirm the points that we have verbally discussed with you. (1) The gland cover is insufficiently stiff. (2) The gland should have a chamfer on the inside as well as the outside. (3) The connecting link should be arranged so that it is impossible to split pin it up without the correct tension on the spring. (4) The shock absorber attachment to the frame requires modification. STEERING. The cross steering tube is hitting the water pump. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} | ||
