| X5080 To Hs. {Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} } FROM E. {Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} To BY. {R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} } E1/M23.3.26. X.8080 X.8080 RE. LOCKING FLOAT CHAMBER LID. {A. J. Lidsey} In reply to memos. Hsl/LG19.3.26. and HY {Tom Haldenby - Plant Engineer} 3/H19.3.26. I have looked into this matter and cannot see any better scheme for adoption than the one we use on RR.C.H. carburetters. It is evident that we must have a locking device. Probably the absence of the washer on the float chamber lid {A. J. Lidsey} accounts for it coming loose owing to lack of flexibility. Do you think the 20 HP. carburetter lid {A. J. Lidsey} also requires locking? E. {Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} | ||
