| F.S. / R.G.Fe. x4072 BY9/H 26.7.20. Y.4072 CHASSIS - FRAMES AND FITTINGS. RE NEW DESIGN OF ENGINE FEET AS FORGINGS. Under the question of replacing steel castings by forgings, the sleeve fixing the Swan Neck to the end of the Rear Silencer Box is also affected. Do you think the scheme we have at present is sufficiently good for us to sink dies for the sleeve as well? BY.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} | ||
