| R.{Sir Henry Royce} FROM E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} X/7250 E1/M14.1.30. C. to SG.{Arthur F. Sidgreaves - MD} BY.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} HS.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} DA.{Bernard Day - Chassis Design} PHANTOM 2. THERMO: OPERATED SHUTTERS X.7250. X.3499. It should be understood that we are asking for .125 to be added to the overall thickness of the radiator tank to improve the geometry of the shutter operation. This is shewn on print of LeC. 2779. attached. At the same time we want the shutters to be made more free to move than they are at present. LeC. 2779. shews a spring for closing the shutters, which might reasonably be expected to do this work. Original of LeC. 2779. attached to BY's copy. E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} | ||
