Y150. To Dev. from E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} c.c. Mr. Hives Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair}Br. E.13/HP.13.12.32. re Peregrine Steering. We send you herewith an original scheme showing the reduced scale steering without the universal mounting of the nut we discussed with you on the telephone. We think that on this small chassis where the steering conditions are not so critical, R.{Sir Henry Royce} might be prepared to consider deleting the universal mounting of the nut. We are putting this matter in your hands so that it can be put up as an alternative scheme in the manner discussed between us. We should be glad if you could let us have a blueprint of the attached tracing for our records. E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} | ||
