| X. 7090 E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} FROM R.{Sir Henry Royce} BY.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} c. to Sg.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} Wor.{Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager} R3/M3.2.29. 'SS{S. Smith}' CAMSHAFT BEARINGS. re. LeC. 2654. Possibly the spring washer is not a suitable lock because it is not an oil seal. Would a sheet metal lock be much more trouble, if not it could be used if required. R.{Sir Henry Royce} | ||
