| (2) Owing to the impossibility of finding enough room for the present type of fan bracket .7" higher and also owing to the desirability of making the fan drive more reliable, Mr. Royce has decided to alter the meth-od of carrying the fan and to replace the existing ecc-entric adjustment by automatic spring tension adjust-ment. This is so on LeC 1601 and as you will obser-ve it necessitates altering the facing and stud bosses on the front end of the cylinder block. We would ask you not to take these two blue prints as official, and we expect to send you the orig-inal schemes through as soon as Mr. Royce returns. E.{Mr Elliott - Chief Engineer} | ||
