| To RHC.{R. H. Coverley - Production Engineer} X 5340 Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Gry.{Shadwell Grylls}22/KW.20.4.34. Over-run Gear Rattles. Will you please put in hand a further 2 propellor shaft dampers to EX.13099. One of these we shall probably want to fit to 21-G-IV, so will you look into whether any modifications are needed so that the damper does not foul the brake equaliser shafts etc. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Gry.{Shadwell Grylls} | ||
