| WOR.{Arthur Wormald - General Works Manager} c. Hs{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}/Rm.{William Robotham - Chief Engineer} 87-60 BY1/G.5.12.30. 40/50 HP. CHASSIS - BONNET CATCH. In response to a request from Mr. Lidsey, we had already instructed a spring giving 100% increase on the load, which follows the suggestion which Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} is now putting forward. This new spring was instructed on the 24.11.30. (our memo BY/CS3/IG.24.11.30), so that some experience will soon be available in this direction. BY.{R.W. Bailey - Chief Engineer} BY | ||
