To Hs.{Lord Ernest Hives - Chair} [Strikethrough: c/o to Mr Halker.(Catalogue)] [Handwritten: Y.3436] BY/Shn1/DB.{Donald Bastow - Suspensions}1.2.23. X.3436 - EXHAUST FITTINGS.(SEC:5230). We attach herewith a scheme No.468, generally approved by Mr Bailey, which should be tried out as soon as possible. In this scheme we have applied many existing parts the only new ones required being:- 1. Sheet steel bracket on Crankcase Arm. 2. Slotted end for Pull Rod. 3. Butterfly valve spindle lengthened .500. The spring we show is the one used on the thermostat operated louvres, but Mr Bailey would like to know if you consider this loading satisfactory. [Signature] BY/Shn. | ||
