| To RHC.{R. H. Coverley - Production Engineer} From Ha/Gry.{Shadwell Grylls} No 3 unit Ha/Gry.{Shadwell Grylls}1/MJ.24.10.32. PEREGRINE DAMPER. The chief trouble with the dampers to LeC.3149 is roughing up of the dowels. We should like to try a set in another material and suggest bronze as in the old 20 HP. Will you please fit up the damper off Per.ll No.3 unit like this. Ha/H.Grylls. | ||
